Half Moon Cay

Don't make the mistake of many and pronounce it 'Kay'. To save all arguments, take it from me it is definitely pronounce 'Key'.  But no matter how you say it, this little island in the Bahamas is indeed an island paradise.  It belongs to the shipping company, or at least they have a 99 year lease on it and worth every penny.  I think they are slowly developing it with lovely cabanas that can be hired for the day for a mere $3,000 (cheap if you had a few people chip in), walking paths, a few shops and bars and a big BBQ area with lots of covered huts scattered amound the vegetation where you can sit and eat the huge lunch they dish out.  The sand is silky white and the water is the most aquamarine blue you have ever seen with crystal clear clarity along with a pleasent 28 deg temperature and enough salt to make an elephant float.

There is not much else I can say about this place except that we spent a few glorious hours here, floating in the water feeling we had not a care in the world.  It even turned my water hating "don't get my hair wet' sister into a water baby and that is REALLY saying something.  Well, at least she got her swimmers on and went in a couple of times.  To her that is being a water baby.

If this is what the Bahamas is like then it is definitely the place for me to be.
