My happy place has always been by the ocean. When I started to travel, I learned that there were warm beaches unlike the chillier one of the Oregon Coast, which I still love in many ways.
Still, when given a choice, I would prefer a warm beach, blue sea, and golden sand.
I’ve seen a number of beaches over the years that have come close to this ideal. But, this…this is something else.
We are spending 8 nights in the Bahamas on Paradise Island. Although the island is man-made, the name is appropriate for the water and sand that is all natural.
Although I am still sick, we are slightly jet lagged and the weather is as temperamental as my partner’s moods sometimes 
, it is rather amazing to see the blue of the water and the glow of the sand when the sun 
shines.
With that, time to get back to enjoying paradise. More to come.
