Trips and Vacations

| Green Turtle Club - Green Turtle Cay, Abaco Out Islands, Bahamas |
|
www.greenturtleclub.com April 2008 Another amazing trip to the Green Turtle Club in the Bahamas. Well, the trip itself was almost a nightmare that I couldn't escape, but once we got to the island, all was well. This was another work trip. I had time to take a lot more pictures this time around. There are plenty of wildlife and scenery pictures this time, and I've even thrown in a few panoramic pictures, too. Since Continental Airlines decided to give my seats away for the return flight, I ended up staying 2 extra days at Green Turtle Club. These two days were almost like a real vacation. We got invited to Pineapples (the local bar and hot-spot) and also a great house-warming party with what seemed to be hundreds of people, many of which the host hadn't ever met before! You can see some of the party in the "Louie Louie" panorama.

 Photos can't seem to capture the real color of this water. It's like freakin' Kool-Aid. |
 This is the door to our room. This flower wasn't there for the first few days... and then one day it was there. Weird. |

 Finally on a plane. That's "second flight" not "peace". |
 Apparently something funny happened; I don't recall. |

 Some perched bird... probably looking for a lizard to play with. |
 The island has wild chickens. I tracked this one down to his nest in the woods before he ran away. |

 Even the lizards here know how to relax |
 This night-time shore bird did not like me taking pictures of him. Each night, I only got one chance to take a photo; most of which came out blurry. |
