Checking off another place in the song

We sometimes joke to each other that we are just going places in the Caribbean to check them off from the Beach Boys song Cocomo. From Key Largo to Montego and Jamaica we are working our way through them and this weekend we check off the Bahamas. Our cruise ship leaves Miami on Friday evening at 5 p.m. and sails to Nassau Saturday and then Stripling Cay on Sunday before returning to Miami Monday morning. We will take lots of pictures and post them early next week. This week has been strange with no classes. We are taking advantage of the time to play catch up on a lot of work and get ready for the summer quarter which starts on Tuesday. This Monday is a national holiday here to celebrate the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II so that is why we have a Tuesday start for the quarter.
