I’ll be honest, this was a rough trip. I know it’s hard to feel bad about visiting tropical climates in March; that part was definitely A+. And I always enjoy meeting with my colleagues and spending time with them in person.
Someone wanted to go with. Definitely not Nassau. Worth the wait. Obligatory beach selfie. So blue! Original! Team-cooked meals are the best. Three little shells. Straw market wares. National Art Gallery All the bright paint colors! Bahamian pirate Sun and sand. Tiny daquiri in a tiny cup! Karaoke! Tequila 😛 Much excite Cheers! Homemade dranks.
Travel-wise, I got off to a rough start. My first flight out was canceled due to a winter storm, so I spent an extra day and night at the airport hotel. I was already anxious about the trip and kind of homesick to begin with, so the extra time to sit around and wait didn’t help. My rebooked flights were packed, of course, and added an extra flight to the mix, so that was frustrating.
When I finally did get going, I just felt off. When my second flight of the day landed in Miami, I stood up and felt like I was going to pass out. Thankfully I didn’t, but that feeling of lightheadedness persisted throughout the trip. (More about that later.)
I did appreciate the change in scenery, though, and our meetup home at Palm Cay was perfectly situated on a white sand beach. I felt like we spent the time productively with team building, problem solving, and plenty of laughs.
