After listening to The Arch, we went up and had lunch on the back deck of the ship. Went back to our cabin & were watching SAS documentaries on TV until we decided to go out and sit by the pool. As we were walking out, we looked at each other and decided, this is silly - we're here, let's go do a few hours of exploring. So we hopped in a taxi [all of which operate on "Bahamas Time" - they (& you) wait until they have a full cab so they maximize their $$$] and headed to town. Glad we did as we wandered all over, checked out the Westin again in the sunshine and then walked into the brightly colored "shopping village" and saw some high-flying trapeze artists practicing. Dressed as pirates. (What???) Which of course prompted Charity to make me laugh repeatedly by quoting "Anchorman" - "Go back to your home on Whore Island. Pirate hooker."
Sat at an outdoor bar for 2-for-$5 Kaliks, some cracked conch and mozarella sticks.
Then returned to the ship to shower for a special reception for loyal SAS alums with John Tymitz and the new SAS President, Les McCabe. Also met the new VP of Development & Alumni Affairs. had a great time, and hung out with Zomchek for a while. Offered to host an alumni reception in New York City, and they excitedly took me up on the offer. Met up with our fellow Fall '93'ers in the Lounge, but everyone was tired, so we called it an early night saying we would all meet up in the morning to head to Atlantis once the ship arrived in Nassau.
