I took off last wed to drive to Jacksonville, Fl where we boarded the Jubilee for our 4 day cruise through the bahamas starting on thur.  it was the most fun i have had on vacation in a long time.  we stopped on the island of Freeport where we snorkeled along the correl reef and saw many kinds of tropical fish and a shark.  it was quite breathe taking and actually seem like something out of a movie.  then we stopped on the island of Nassau where we took a boat ride to the Pearl Island where we went hunting for pearls and conch shells.  we didnt find any pearls but we did find 2 massive conch shells which we were able to keep.  of course the highlight of my trip was the drinking age being 18.  i even brought 2 bottles of vodka back with me so i'll set for a while back at college station.  on board the Jubilee we were entertained by various activities like broadway type shows, survivor, newly wed games, dr. ruth sex game, comedians, magicians,  plenty of clubs, musics, girls, and of course the 18 and over casino.  also they had many bingo games throughout the cruise.  my mom and i went in together and bought 3 cards and actually won $250 and $50 worth of scratch offs.  i used some  the money to gamble.  i gambled away $140 but only $40 of it was mine so i had a good time in the casinos.  the girls there were absolutely gorgeous.  needless to say, if i were ever stranded in certain various parts of the u.s. and even canada, i would have a place to stay :)    so over all i would say it was a blast and i would do it again.  ttyl.  bye
