I caught a late-night flight out of San José last night, arriving in Atlanta around 6:00 this morning. From there, I boarded my flight to Nassau, which departed Atlanta at 9:30 and arrived in The Bahamas around noon time. The line to get through Bahamian Immigration was long, but it moved along at a pretty good pace. After that, I picked up my suitcase at baggage claim and went outside to catch a taxi to the condo I’m renting for the next three weeks. 

Check-in time is 4:00, but I arrived around 2:30. It turned out not to bed a problem. I got into my unit, left the luggage there, and walked down to get some lunch at the Bone Fishin’ Bar & Grill at Arawak Cay. I decided to go Bahamian, ordering jerk chicken, mac and cheese, and cole slaw, along with an ice cold limeade drink.

I returned to the condo, got everything set up here, then took a brief nap before greeting my friend, Christine, who had done a bit of grocery shopping for me. There’s a small convenience store just around the corner from the condo, but in order to get everything I’ll need for my stay here, a trip to the larger supermarket was much more practical.

Now I’m ready to get some sleep. I’m usually able to sleep on planes, so I was counting on getting a good night’s sleep last night between San José and Atlanta. For whatever reason, that didn’t happen, so I’m feeling it tonight. I’ll be able to sleep-in tomorrow.

I’m grateful to be back in Nassau — my home away from home.
