Donna and Neil Come for a Visit

Now that we were in Staniel Cay for a little while it was a perfect location to have Donna and Neil fly into.  You can walk to the airport, in fact you can walk onto the runway if you like!  Donna even got to sit in the co-pilot’s seat – talk about informal!

No Donna did NOT fly the plane!

We started the week with a little rest and relaxation by the pool and a nice dinner at the restaurant.  Donna tried the fish, but loved the rack of lamb.  While I like fish well enough – the lamb was really good!

The following day we rented a golf cart and took a tour of the island, end to end and top to bottom.  There is a lot of development that has begun, but most is idle waiting for better times and more investment.  That said, there are about 4 houses under construction currently and the island is looking forward to building a new community center with a bathroom and kitchen for functions.

Then it was off for some snorkeling at the Thunderball Grotto and swam with the fishes, you can see some of the video in my last posting.  Donna borrowed Boo’s new under water camera and was busy taking pictures too.  Then we went Conching and for a swim with the pigs.  Yes indeed, beach pigs!!

Donna really wanted to take the boat for a run, so we fired up Revi and headed of to Great Guana Cay for the day.  Once again, we went end to end and top to bottom.  There are some fantastic vistas on the Atlantic side of the island – it looks wild and Atlantic is incredibly powerful as it crashes the rocks.

More snorkeling, eating, swimming and shelling for the remainder of the week and it drew to a close too quickly!



We had a great time together and we were very pleased to host Donna and Neil – they were very gracious guests.
