I'll be honest, a lot of people may not understand this journal and thats okay. It is really for our Bahamas Crew buddies, some of which requested I record on tnttravels our happenings and parties leading up to our Bahamas '08 vacation.

This will be a two week trip for most of us and one week for others but we all plan to have a blast! To let you know a little about whats going on we are currently in the process of holding Bahamas "Out Island" Crew parties on a regular basis. This does two things...keeps up the island spirit and also gives us a great excuse to party!
We started out at Larry and Sue's house in February with some drinks and dinner and began recruitment for a few couples to go with us on this trip. Dick & Nancy signed on for two weeks and Bill & Ellen for one week. It wasn't long before George & Cindy came on for a week as well. Then we went from there, the first crew party was a lot of fun and we got to know everyone a little better. We had some island themed food, drinks and decorations and tons of talk about who will do what on the boat and the itinerary and what not. There are 10 of us going so everyone will help out in one way or the other. I mean someone has to keep the rum pouring! That is the most important job, everything else takes a close second. We have a really great crew going. Larry & Sue, Dick & Nancy, George & Cindy, Bill & Ellen, Me & Troy. This summer we have chartered a nice catamaran to start our adventure. We will hit Bimini, Chub Cay and then head around to the islands of the Abacos.
We met at TGI Fridays in March to have dinner then invade the mall to look for shirts to have our crew logo embroidered on. The guys went their way and the girls theirs. Of course it doesn't take men long to find what they want so they went to Red Robin for a drink and to talk about the trip details. The women took longer and scouted out just about every store before deciding on something but hey...we look great.
Its April now and we just had another fun crew gathering that Larry and Sue put on. Everyone is still has the spirit and is pumped about going. We did more chatting and partying than talk logistics but that will all come at the final wrap up party in June at Dick and Nancy's house. We had some great food and plenty of rum and cokes! I'M READY TO GO!
Ah May is here! While we are not having a party in May we still gathered most everyone at Larry's birthday party and the talk was hot about the trip. We got our shirts back with the logos and they look great! I've attached a pic of them. These are really cool keepsakes for trips like these and will always remind us of our good times. Our next and last crew party before we leave will be at Dick & Nancy's house in mid June. Time is cruising by so we will be cruisin' to the Bahamas before we know it!
Hello June! It is SO hard to believe....we just had our final Bahamas crew party before the trip. Dick and Nancy hosted a great party at their house last night. Larry, Bill and Troy headed up the navigating info to everyone and Sue and Dick took care of making sure all expenses were taken care of with some great spreadsheets and lists to get this trip headed in the right direction.
Outside of that I think this gang is ready to have a BLAST! Dick and Nancy's favorite (and only haha) son in law grilled up some tasty pork tenderloin and we all stuffed ourselves and had a few drinks and made the most of the evening. LIFE IS GOOD!
Well everyone...as usual I have attached photos so take a peak! The next ones I post will be after we return from our trip. We have all worked on this vacation since late January and now its almost time to blast off!
Enjoy and feel free to sign in our guestbook just to say hi or tell us if you've been were we are going and what fun things you found to do.
