Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2007Question for travelers
Who here has been to the Bahamas; Nassau and Freeport Did you fly or take a cruise if so which one? Tanks in advance > Who here has been to the Bahamas; Nassau and Freeport > > Did you fly or take a cruise if so which one? I went to the Bahamas in ... 1998, I think. Flew. I don't remember much in the way of details. I think they required a passport. One important point, if you don't have one yet -- I hear passports are taking a lot longer than usual lately, so you definitely want to get a jump on that and / or pay for rush processing.

Well I got mine very quick I applied on 10/2/07 got it 10/25/07 with normal processing. I was shocked when I got it. I did not go thru the post office I went to the courthouse and avoided that BS make an appointment. It takes 5 minutes to sign everything and to repeat after me statement I had one years ago but I let it expire and they had to a whole new package Right now I think it is July 08 that if you are traveling anywhere you have to have it but going to the Bahamas I think all you need is your driver's license or some proof of I wanted to see how the excursions are down there. I booked a cruise down there even though I live in Florida I have never been there We flew down to Freeport out of Miami around Christmas in the mid=70's - a long time ago! We hated it. Never went back. > >> Who here has been to the Bahamas; Nassau and Freeport > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > I wanted to see how the excursions are down there. I booked a cruise down > there even though I live in Florida I have never been there Can I ask what was wrong with it? If you don't mind I been in the cruise newsgroups got some advice. Just wanted to see what my friends here had to say > We flew down to Freeport out of Miami around Christmas in the mid=70's > - a long time ago! We hated it. Never went back. [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> down >> there even though I live in Florida I have never been there Remember that it was the mid-70's when we were there. I don't know the politics down there now, but they were not friendly to Americans back then. Everything was terribly expensive. The first hotel that we checked into - that we had made reservations at 6 months prior - was a total wreck. I don't remember the name of it. We got a cab and luckily got a room at a hotel that was next door to the casino. It was better, but................. We had cold stormy weather for the entire week - and that didn't help things. I was very happy to come back to the good old USA! But, again, this was a long time ago - surely things have improved?????? > Can I ask what was wrong with it?

But, > again, this was a long time ago - surely things have improved?????? Yep! The storms have improved considerably! :) This evening the storm barriers at the west coast of Holland have been closed (The barriers they could have used in LA recently) :) and they seem to be evacuating places in England. > This evening the storm barriers at the west coast of Holland have > been closed (The barriers they could have used in LA recently) :) > and they seem to be evacuating places in England. This seems really scary, with some places being threatened both by rain-fed flooding and ingress of seawater. Let's hope everybody and their furry friends are all right tonight. Any regulars from that part of England or Holland? ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 > This seems really scary, with some places being threatened both by > rain-fed flooding and ingress of seawater.

I think Wafflycat Helen is from Norfolk (?) and Tweed from Lincolnshire but hopefully not near the coast... hope they will check in and let us know they are OK. Deb.

We had a grand time. Honestly, I don't remember what the hotel looked like. Hmmmm, I wonder if we ever stayed at the hotel. Yeah, we changed clothes and took a shower. This was in November of 1984. I could have done without the commercialism. I certainly didn't need to buy 25 "virgin sistas, cheap". I was not my favorite island but not my least favorite island, either, that designation is reserved for Jamaica. We fell in love with Barbados. Beautiful island, friendly inhabitants, wonderful food!!, beautiful beaches. Just a very nice place to visit Julie >> Who here has been to the Bahamas; Nassau and Freeport >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Julie I am going to have some sweet vacation dreams after a description like that.
