My last day in the Bahamas was a long one. It began at 5am with me driving my golf cart "off road" to a very remote part of Harbour Island. It was dark, I had no cell phone service, and I knew if anything happened to the cart it was going to be a loong walk back! This photograph was totally worth it though!!
Went back to my room to pack and check out. Turned in my golf cart and hopped on a single engine ferry boat back to the island of Eleuthera where I'd be catching my first of three flights for the day. This marked the official end of my "work" portion of the trip, and with an hour to wait for the plane, I finally allowed myself to have a Bahamian beer to celebrate the occasion. (Am I allowed to classify photographing custom luxury fishing boats on an exotic island work??)
Either way, here are a few personal images from the island:
So I caught my flight from the island to Ft Lauderdale, then caught my next flight from Ft Lauderdale to Newark, continuing on to my final destination, Reagan International...almost! I landed in Newark at 6pm. Flight was delayed for 5 hours, then eventually cancelled. While in line to re-book with about 50 people in front of me I was weighing my options when finally I just asked aloud to anyone within earshot, "Anyone want to go in on a rental car with me?" Three people thought it was a great idea so off we went to Avis! I didn't get a photo of them, but we had a great time making the four hour drive from Newark to DC together! Actually I don't even remember their names, I just remember that the man who drove us worked for Chevron and was the choice to drive because he was coming from L.A and was on Pacific time. I really didn't want to drive after the long day I had and the other two traveling with us were a couple on their last day of their honeymoon, coming in from Italy! Finally got to the DC airport where we returned the rental car and went out separate ways via taxi cabs. I had never been to where I was staying, at a friend of my brother-in-laws house, so I only had an address to give the cab driver. He had never heard of it. BUT he did have a GPS which I inputed the address into and then directed him on which roads to turn. He didn't seem too familiar with how to use the GPS, maybe I should have caught onto this when he got the GPS out of the trunk! I finally made it to my destination and spent the next couple of days in DC. Here are a few images in and around the Smithsonian:
