BarBaDoS uPDatE

Since getting home to Nassau a week ago we've had some ups and downs. Glad the last week is over though. We hired 2 new people in Nassau and I get to train them next week using all my training skills and manual I made in Cayman. Putting my work to the test, hopefully it will be as good as I imagine! Darin found out his permit was ok, and all of his documents have been looked over. The only thing he needed was a police background check and finger prints from Turks and Caicos (because he lived there longer than 6 months) and a certificate from the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America! Yep, that's what the email said. We found out it will be a minimum of 8 weeks for that certificate which will put us in Nassau longer. A few hours of freaking out and Chad thought to call the officer in Barbados to simply ask if Darin could come there and have 90days to show the certificate. The officer agreed! Thank God.....so now Darin is going to Turks and Caicos on Tuesday for 2 days to get that done, we'll fedex that over and hopefully be there in about 3 weeks. We can't wait to move into our new home, all this waiting makes us more anxious! Good new though, we're going to come home for a few days when we leave Nassau to see our family and friends, then off to Barbados from there. We won't be home until October/November for a wedding, so we decided to go home for a short weekend before we moved. So there's an update, hopefully next post will be about us packing up our life here and starting a new adventure on a new island!

ExuMaS

As usual, we've been busy! After our Exuma trip, we got back and 2 days later I was off to Cayman on a super spontaneous work trip and i've been working my butt off the whole time. Currently i'm still in Cayman, but i've got to put up the amazing pictures of our trip to the Exuma Bahama islands. I think it was our favorite trip by far! Alan and Chad came to Nassau for this awesome trip, so there were 4 guys and me. We left Thursday morning early, took Matt's boat from Nassau down to Exuma, specifically Staniel Cay. We got there and made really good time so we still had most of the day to play. The water is so crystal clear....we thought in Nassau the water was amazing but down in Staniel Cay, it's 100x more amazing!! We rented a boat, got situated, and immediately went to the Thunderball Grotto to snorkel. Matt brought his cheese wiz for the fish and they went crazy over it! We explored and just drove in and out of tiny islands amazed at all of the water and how clear it was. The next day we got the boat again so we did some spear fishing, saw the swimming pigs, visited other marinas swam with sharks and attempted the parachute that Alan brought. Wish that worked out because it would of been awesome to parasail over those islands. Dinner was free and fresh, grouper bites and a LOT of lobster. I can't explain how amazing it was and that everyone needs to take a trip there before they die. These pictures are some of my favorites, there were so many but I think you'll get the feeling just by seeing these ones. 

I hope to have the video our friend Alan made posted to my youtube channel. I'll put it up soon!!
