I know it is not until first week of August, but we booked our yearly trip to Club Landor, Paradise Island, Bahamas. I know some don't like Club Landor, but we've been going for years now and enjoy it very much. I don't need high class snob accommodations. I like the quaintness of the small villa setting.
I know that technically this is the beginning of hurricane season, but it is rare that one hits the island, chances are even lower that early in the season. We have gone in January, March, September and last year August. January and March are still a little cool, especially ocean water temperatures (around the low 70's). I would still jump in but my friend was like "Hell No". August and September can get really hot, but if I'm at the beach that's what i want. Water temperature is also in the mid 80's making for a relaxing swim in the ocean.
Anybody else been that has a time of year they like better?
Trip is one month out. Can't wait to relax in the clear blue water. Starting to think about what to pack.
Late Update:
Went on my trip and we had a blast. Weather was great (hot, but great). I definately like this time of year (Early August) the best. Had direct flights in and out of Reagan National, 2.5 hours and was ready to hit the beach.
I did my best not to burn (white guy so I burn easily). Stayed at Club Landor with a marina view for a week. If you are gonna stay here I recommend the marina view room upgrade. You get to watch all the million dollar yachts come and go and dream of the good life. Rooms are quaint, don't expect 4 star luxury. But if you can't relax and enjoy yourselves here you are probably too uptight a traveler anyway, you're in the Bahamas, relax a bit.
Walked the marina and thru the casino to the beach almost every day. Went to the Atlantis Casino and gambled almost every night. I'm a craps player, my girl loves the slots. Actually came back winners on this trip.
Went snorkling on Rose Island with the Club Landor crew. All you can drink and eat included. Bought myself an Olympus underwater digital camera good down to 40 feet and I'm in love with it. Great photos in and out of water. Plenty of camera settings.
Club Landor has other daily activities but we didn't participate. This was like our 7th trip so we like to do our own thing for the most part.
Hoping to get my scuba certification for next year so I can do a shark dive with Stuart Cove.
Talk Soon
