OK - I'm back from the Bahamas and from Thanksgiving and I am so so so very very very backed up again on podcasts (also doesn't help that I have been playing video games too!) OK so enough of my excuses. I'm getting down to business here shortly. Just added a couple podcasts while you were laughing at my feeble excuses. :)

Bahamas was great. Was a nice 85 degrees (F! not C!) all week long. It was a little windy but not bad for this time of year. I stayed at Atlantis which is a cool theme resort. Its owned by Sol Kerzner, the same guy who owns Sun City in South Africa and some huge Indian casino up north (forgot the name). I have to say though that the Palace of the Lost City (the older sister resort to Atlantis) is WAY better. Looks about the same except for the theme (elephants vs sharks), but the service in Sun City was way better. The food was excellent (food @ Atlantis was mostly overpriced CRAP!) The rooms at Sun City were better too. For less money we got a room that was twice the size of our Atlantis Royal Tower room.

So while we were there Genelle and I went snorkling and scuba diving. Below is a picture of me snorking on the surface of a school of Reef Sharks. Now they tell you that Reef Sharks are harmless and they've never had any problems and they are 30-40 feet down eating up free fish in a chum basket. But MAN when you get in the water and see one come up about five feet you really start thinking about those Reef Shark attacks in Florida. I stayed in the water for about 10 minutes. It was intense! (see picture below of my flipper and a dozen reef sharks below it!)
