The qa drone in the gray cube farm is jealous! Where are you, anyway? Hawaii?

[bryant]

Better! Bahamas.

We are also staying in a hotel - it just happens to be off 95 in Woburn and we still have to go to work everyday. Jerky.

Why didn't you take me with you for my birthday? hmph! :)

[bryant]

Next time. ;)

wish you were here!

No, you don't. I'd spend way too much time griping about the heat and how much I hate sand.;-)

[bryant]

Ah, this might not be the perfect vacation spot for you, then. :)

Holy cats. It's gorgeous. Jealous! To quote head58: You magnificent bastard...

[peaseblossom.livejournal.com]

OMG, I *so* wish I were there! Next time take me with you!

The booze is cheap too. Ten bucks for a liter of decent tequila!

*sigh* It's just like heaven.

Actually, in heaven the tequila is free. But it's pretty damn close.

[bryant]

It's pretty heavenly. Although of course there's a heavy dose of class issues to go with it. This particular Bahamas island (Abaco) was settled mostly by Tory loyalists after the Revolutionary War; there's an island (Green Turtle Cay) with a little fishing village on it that could almost be plopped down next to New Bedford and you'd never know it wasn't a New England village. Then again the Bahamas freed their slaves before the US did. Then again, half the cheap labor on the island is immigrant workers from Haiti. Then again, tourism is all that's keeping the place alive...

There will be a lengthy post on this later. Actually a few of them. I'd forgotten a lot about the place; both how much I love it and how complex it is.

*mild envy*
(i prefer moonlit beaches to sunlit ones)

[bryant]

Well, for you I'd arrange the moon. Although really there winds up being more sun, when you get right down to it.

There's a limestone sinkhole a few miles from there, inland a bit, which goes down further than anyone's ever measured. It's more than big enough to swim in. That'd be pretty cool under a full moon.

sounds dreamy!

say, we oughta catch up on each other's worlds sometime. been a few years since we chatted.

[bryant]

You betcha. Where would I find you online these days?

[dartpoly.livejournal.com]

The water is looks bright blue enough to be in an advertisement. Where are you?

[bryant]

It is in fact that blue and that clear -- it's some of the clearest water in the world. I have a picture of a starfish on the bottom taken through ten feet of water with a cheesy digital camera -- it's just amazing.
