Freeport- Grand Bahamas Island- winter 1983

My first trip. 1983, I went with my older brother John. John is two years older then me. We went to Freeport on Grand Bahamas Island, for a week. The old saying, “you learn how to crawl, before you learn how to walk”. It was a package trip, and all inclusive. That is the easy way to travel. You get a great price for your flight and accommodations. The trips of today also include all your meals and drinks. So they are a great deal, for a short trip or the faint of heart. Nice Island, weather, and hotel. The hotel we stayed was the Princess. They also have two 18 hole golf courses on there property, and a full casino. The high light of this trip was getting away from winter in Toronto for a week, and having the chance to visit a whole brave new world. Very exciting reality for me. We did go on a guided tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was Alexander the Great! That’s what he called himself. He sang a great Caribbean folk song, called “Your Just a Member of The Family” great song!
