Bahamas Cruise - 12/08

My lovely fiancee gave me an early Christmas gift this past weekend. She took me on a road trip that included a stop over in Orlando where we ate dinner at Raglan Road, an awesome Irish Pub located in Downtown Disney. Raglan Road has great food, great music, and a very welcoming atmosphere. If you're ever in the Disney area I highly recommend giving it a try.

From Orlando we headed East to Port Canaveral where we boarded the 'Monarch of the Seas' cruise ship for a nice 3-day trip to the Bahamas. Unfortunately, the weather did not permit us to make our stop at Coco Cay, but we enjoyed the cruise just the same. Liana and I have been home for a few days now, but our equilibrium is still off a bit. This cruise was much rougher than our previous one to the Western Caribbean. I think we'll stick with the longer cruises which are typically on the larger more stable ships!


Part of our road trip included Liana's stop down in Tampa to pickup her sweet new Canon 5D Mk II. While I own a Canon 20D that is more than adequate to capture some great images, I was ecstatic when Liana offered to let me use her first generation 5D on our trip. While the images below may not win any awards, they are so much richer straight from the camera than anything I've been able to produce from the 20D.

Liana, thank you for once again enriching my life with wonderful travel, great moments, tasty foods, sweet camera gear, and copious amounts of quality time! I love you!

Most of the photos are from Nassau, Bahamas, including inside the Atlantis Hotel & Resort. The gentleman in the last couple of photos is Bobby Arvon who sang the theme song from 'Happy Days' (at least one version of it). I found him to be fairly entertaining, particularly his impressions of many well-known singers.
