A Family’s Bahamian Dream Vacation
A Family’s Bahamian Dream Vacation
The Countdown Begins
In the quiet of dawn, they wake with a start,
Hearts light and eager, their journey to chart.
Suitcases open, excitement runs high,
As they pack for adventure beneath a blue sky.
Sun hats and sandals, swimsuits in tow,
Laughter and chatter, as the moments grow.
Maps and brochures spread out on the floor,
Imaginations wander to the island’s door.
Soaring to Paradise
Through the airport they stride, no stress, only cheer,
A smooth plane ride whispers, “The islands are near.”
Clouds part away to reveal a world new,
Tropical paradise, a dazzling debut.
The plane touches down with the softest embrace,
And the family steps out to the sun’s warm grace.
Palm trees sway in a welcoming dance,
As they venture forth, lost in a trance.
Bahama Vacay
