Calgon, Take Me Away

It’s freezing outside – a frosty 19 degrees early this morning.  It just may be time for a balmy trip to a tropical island via Memory Lane Airlines.  Some pics from our vacation to Paradise Island last May.

We stayed at the all-inclusive Riu Paradise Island in 2007, 2008 and 2010.  I guess we liked it there.

Just a short walk from our hotel brought us to this 

unbelievable place to hang out and to sight-see.

The Atlantis had an amazing walk-through
archeological aquarium called The Dig.

Cool, huh?

Fireworks: Bahamian Style
In 2007, The Atlantis put on a pyrotechnics display
to honor Oprah, who was staying there at the time.
It must be nice to be Oprah.
Back to New Jersey now.
