Wedding across the ocean

Wedding across the ocean

by Tomer Sheayik


This time I have decided to write. I feel that apart of the fun within the writing itself it can also increase the intense of the adventure as it let us become an observer of our own life at the same time we live them. I am on my way to a friends wedding at the Paradise Island, Bahamas. Usually I get prepared two hours before the wedding and find my self back home the same evening. It's the first time that a wedding is the reason for me to cross the ocean to one big weekend of fantasy and unknown. While waiting to my flight to NY I met a girl with two big suitcases and a dog, they both looked like they have no idea what's going on around them, she was exited and afraid at the same time, on her way to new beginning as a student - at the big apple. I guess that any long distance plane we made holds within it so many great stories, exactly the ones who makes our life fascinating. People in those very special stages in life, hours before they are about to launch them, can face dramatic changes that make them open to the environment, they start living the moment! . Maybe this is why I like so much traveling;. We meet many people during their nature high state of mind that immediately let us feel great. Maybe I am just looking for those fascinating moments in airports and in places I am traveling to, after all what's more exiting then meeting new people? I felt the cold October air of New York on my skin while taking the airport bus when in one moment a gorgeous bright nice looking girl went on the bus. She was wearing a perfect combination of elegant jacket and jeans that covered a beautiful soul. She took a seat in a way our eyes could meet, I have notice she is looking at me so I did the same. My eyes met hers and a big smile flooded my face. She then looked a bit embarrassed at her newspaper and then we were having second glance. As she had to let a passenger get of the bus she took another sit just next to me. I felt so happy but as being very shy I convinced myself that any way I am flying to the Bahamas and she is going who knows where so why should I take a move. As I am having those thoughts she start to speak with me. A simple moment in the bus turns to be the moment and it just happens, coming without planning it. She tells me she is a dancer and on her way home to LA. I am telling her about the wedding, it's sure was my lucky day because before she goes takes the plane to LA she hand me a note with her e-mail. Years to come we planed to meet again in the same place we did the first time, we both planed to fly to New York, we both wanted to do all we can so we could see each other again but we never met, not until this moment. She may already be married, she may move to another place but I know for sure I will always have a place in her hart. Once in a while I feel like peaking the phone and just call her, after all she once gave me her mobile, I just have to click the digits. I do sense at the same time it will not be appropriate as she told me she got a boyfriend. Somehow I feel that a day will come and we will see each other again. From the window plane to the Bahamas I started to feel what we all describe as paradise, white & pink beautiful sandy beaches, colorful turquoise water surrounding the islands, evocative windswept panoramas and countless opportunities for diving, snorkeling and fishing, the islands of the Bahamas are well established as one of the world's top draws for both intrepid explorers and casual vacationers. An island chain beginning a mere 55 miles east of Miami, Florida, the Bahamas offer an array of tourist hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and even rustic lodges, making staying there a relatively simple Endeavour. Indeed, more than three million travelers each year choose the islands as their prime destination for outdoor sports, sun worship, casino gambling and, on some of the slightly more remote spots, eco-tourism. In total, the Bahamas include around seven hundred islands, no more than thirty of which are inhabited, as well as smaller cays (pronounced "keys") and rocks - an impressive arc stretching from just beyond the Atlantic coast of Florida to the outlying waters of Cuba, where Great Inagua lies only sixty miles offshore. Although deeper oceanic troughs surround some of the islands, most are encircled by shallow, crystalline water that reflects a light turquoise hue during the day and glows with purple luminescence at night. This combination of shallow and deep water makes diving and snorkeling both challenging and intriguing, with numerous reefs waiting to be explored just beyond the shores of the gorgeous, uncrowned beaches. The Bahamas map and general information can be viewed in the following link: http://www.dealsdetector.com/info.php?c=bf&p=1&l=B Landing in the Bahamas was fascinating by itself, mixture of late back terminal with lots of limos all around the airport that kind of announcing the type of vacation I should be waiting for. The wedding will take place in the paradise island which is connected with a bridge to Nassau Island where the terminal is located. The paradise island is the cherry above the cream with the best sandy beach and unique hotels. The small size of it creates the perfect atmosphere of what we fantasize about tropic islands. The first Friday dinner was just three hours ahead, just about when I realized they forgot to bring my luggage and if I am lucky I will have it within two hours, just the thought that I made all this way and I got nothing to wear, not even mentioning the jacket I don't have that was requested for the event. I also realized that the hostel I got confirmation on doesn't exist... I booked a room in the nearest loge and the taxi that brought my luggage took me to the wedding dinner and even asked for no payment. if this is not enough, I saw a jacket on the hotel sofa that kind of waiting just for me to take it. I gave the guy 20 bucks and rented it for the whole weekend, Perfect! Obviously I didn't miss a good shower, especially after coming from NY the humidity in the Bahamas is something we need to get used to. The big family dinner was amazing, just to see my friend was exiting not even mentioning the situation. I met all his friends I still didn't know and all the family. Realizing I could easily come without a jacket, I felt great. The cocktails were really good and the local waitress who served them was really quite. The moment everybody went already outside I found myself dancing with her upstairs in the restaurant for something like five seconds, it was indeed magnificent moment. Then we all went to the Atlantis hotel to see the world's largest open air marine habitat. I must say it was amazing, like a big fantasy. It felt like Walking among of see creatures from all kings, from see horses, colorful jelly fish in a huge aquarium, and giant fish to sharks. It is definitely something not to be missed when coming to the paradise island. I do remember one of the guys that waited only to the moment he could spend some dollars in the hotels slot machines, after all someone must pay for this astonishing marine... The next day we spend on remarkable see resort in the Ocean Club. The visibility of the water was extraordinary and the sand resembles walking on heaven. In fact the wedding took place exactly there, in front of the ocean. What a wedding!!! Going to the Bahamas leave you no choice of outdoor good local experience. The so called public club in the hurt of Nassau was basically empty and the street restaurant near the bridge served mainly if not only the locals. I do remember on one of my walks around Nassau Island one church in particular, I heard loud singing from it, I felt I must look inside. It was kind of taken from an old movie; I couldn't believe my eyes, it was full with women all ages dancing like they are in a trance and singing loudly, no men inside. Like a real ritual taken from different time zone. This was for me the life in the Bahamas outside the hotel resorts. This was also the moment I felt ready to move on to my next adventure, just an hour away but very far away: Cuba. http://www.viewbbvideo.com http://www.dealsdetector.com
