14th day 1/10/17

Today is our last day in the Bahamas!  Everyone was close to tears, but we knew that we had to leave today.  We grimly packed up, this time with many new souvenirs.  All the way to the airport, we talked and laughed about the good times and mishaps of the trip.  We had all learned so much and enjoyed our time immensely.  We drove the rental car to the airport about two hours early, about 10:45.  Then we had to wait - once again - for the flight to load.  Alyssa's impatience had not improved since the first time!

As we flew away from Nassau, we stared at it until it disappeared out of sight.  All we could take with us were the extra pounds we had gained and the happy memories of our time there.  Everyone was in a reflective and thoughtful mood until the flight attendant spilled soda all over Kailynn's favorite pants!  That got a laugh out of everyone except Kailynn.

We landed in Atlanta at about 3:00 and waited again until 4:20 for the second flight.  Everyone slept on the plane this time!  When we landed, we said goodbye once and for all to the tropical paradise of the Bahamas.
