Our Western Airlines plane takes off at 1pm so we planned to leave with the dingy around 10:30 to leave time to walk to the airport. Erick whipped up some scrambled eggs and toast and a pot of coffee. We packed up and rode into the beach where it looked like we would find a road out to the main road and then walk to the airport.
A grumpy old white woman scolded us for walking on a private road and parking our dinghy on a private beach, so we apologized and continued on. Erick went back to move the dinghy to the Fernandez Bay Resort beach. (The same grumpy woman later gave Hannah and Erick a ride back from the airport so partly redeemed herself). Unfortunate, since every local person had been nothing but kind to us up until then.
We got to the airport in plenty of time so said our goodbyes to Erick and Hannah. Another couple was there who were Vermonters (of course). The plane dropped off 50+ people and loaded us 50+ people on and we had a quick 30 minute flight to Nassau. We got a burger for lunch at a Wendy’s and then a $20 cab ride to Orange Hill Beach Inn where we always stay. We had nice long showers to knock off the remaining salt and sunscreen, Deb had a swim in the pool and Milo took a nap. We caught up with Jake and Nath, who are counting the days until the babies are born. Nice dinner (ribs for me and cracked conch for Deb) then blog writing, and bed. Apparently tomorrow is a holiday here (Easter Monday) so we need to get to the airport an extra hour early since a lot of folks are on vacation and traveling.
