In The Ends

"We only want to be free. And as funny as it sounds it's all we want. To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns. Because man should be free as falling rain. To find what he loves even if it's pain" - The Growlers

The Bahamas

We thought about cancelling our trip, given storm Alberto was in the area and potentially lurking.  But we decided to go for it and it was the right decision, with only 2 days of rain instead of 4, we were still about to experience the Bahamas.

The Atlantis was fun, but only needs to be done once.  Impressive aquarium.  I enjoyed exploring downtown Nassau, though definitely touristy.  And Bob Marley's resort was worth checking out with some interesting history - now owned by his wife Rita.

The Bahamas is surprisingly expensive!  Ranked #3 most expensive country on some lists.  $28 for a can of spray sunblock - that just ain't right.

Daniella is a great travel companion.  Onto the next!

Nova Scotia - Cabot Links & Cabot Cliffs

Our crazy idea turned out to be a good one!  Pretty amazing to think about two epic golf courses like Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs being dropped into the middle of nowhere (Inverness, NS), 3.5 hours north of Halifax.  It was a blast to open up the club for the season on their first day open.  Cabot Links was awesome, ranked #43 internationally, the best course I've ever played.  And then day 2 on Cabot Cliffs was otherworldly, a perfect golf experience (playing just us two), makes sense it's ranked #9.

I knew there would be some Scottish heritage in Nova Scotia, but didn't realize it would literally be like going to Scotland.  Scottish street names, Scottish food, what appeared to be Scottish accents and definitely Scottish-looking people, pretty cool experience given our Scottish ancestry.

But most importantly, awesome to spend time with Dad 1x1.  They are special times and I feel so fortunate to be able to do it together.  Our trips are focused on golf, eat and sleep - the perfect combo!  Until the next one... :)
