Three Days in the Bahamas, Nassau, Bahamas (B)

My three days in the Bahamas trip was a last-minute idea. Fourth of July was coming and I did not want to stay in the U.S. However, I was not willing to spend a lot of money on a last-minute trip. So, I spent hours and hours trying to find a good deal on some of those popular webpages that offer packages and getaways. Most of the trips were too expensive! Finally though, around 2:00 AM I found a deal to Nassau for about US$ 700 that included the flight and accommodations. Without hesitation I took the deal.

With the package booked I started to look for things to do in the three days in the Bahamas (the country has more than 700 islands). I knew that I did not want to spend my three days in the Bahamas staring at the crystal clear turquoise water. I’d seen pictures of the swimming pigs of Exuma, yes pigs can swim, but I was not sure if I wanted to swim with them. Online I found an interesting excursion: swimming with the famous pigs, and also swimming with sharks. Sharks??? OMG! I never thought I could swim with sharks. Actually the idea made me nervous. But, I thought it must be safe otherwise would they take people to do it? I did some research, and I finally decided to spend the additional US$200 for the excursion plus the flight from Nassau to George Town, Exuma. ......
