It’s Better in the Bahamas

This past Spring Break we spent a few nights at the Cove in the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.  We worked with the amazing public relations department at the hotel and our entire trip was upgraded.  They had a driver pick us up at the airport, gave us VIP treatment and checked on us constantly during our days there.  I was so impressed with the service and the amenities at the Cove.  My sister flew in to meet me from Florida.  We really had a great time. We ate a Nobu a couple of nights (our fav back home) and tried out some of the Atlantis’s award wining other restaurants as well.  On our last night we went to Jean George’s Dune in the neighboring Ocean Club, which was so incredible.  The entire dining room turned into a disco at one point.  During the day we mostly sat by the pool or beach.  This time of year the weather was amazing.  The Atlantis has a gorgeous Spa.  If you booked prior to arriving they gave you 20% off any service and upon finishing your treatment they gave you a 25% off voucher for another appointment during your stay.  I have been to many spas and never received a deal that good!!!!  One day my sister, my daughter and I went into downtown Nassau to do some shopping.  We hit the straw market for souvenirs and some of the higher end shops, where everything was much less than the New York prices, and I do mean MUCH LESS!!!!  Also the shops at the Atlantis were really great too (with the same great pricing).  And they were opened late, so we would walk around after dinner.  The Casino was also fun.  My sister loves the Casino.  On the last night I joined her and even though we both lost, it still was a highlight of our trip!!  Here are some of the photos from our days in Paradise.  For all that the Atlantis has to offer and there is soooo much more (waterparks, swimming with the dolphins, kids camps) click HERE.  It really is Better In The Bahamas!!!!!

Book Club Monday

What would you do if you thought a killer lived next door?  This week’s Book Club choice, Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson, takes you down this very intriguing road.  Here is the story….

Hen and her husband Lloyd have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby, and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace.
But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago. Hen knows because she’s long had a fascination with this unsolved murder—an obsession she doesn’t talk about anymore, but can’t fully shake either.
Could her neighbor, Matthew, be a killer? Or is this the beginning of another psychotic episode like the one she suffered back in college, when she became so consumed with proving a fellow student guilty that she ended up hurting a classmate?
The more Hen observes Matthew, the more she suspects he’s planning something truly terrifying. Yet no one will believe her. Then one night, when she comes face to face with Matthew in a dark parking lot, she realizes that he knows she’s been watching him, that she’s really on to him. And that this is the beginning of a horrifying nightmare she may not live to escape. . . Amazon.com
