Former WHS students reunited for a
4-day Bahama
cruise May 21-25, 2001.
Ports of call included Nassau/Paradise
Island,
CocoCay, and Key West.
We sailed from Miami on Monday afternoon.
The last thing we saw on land leaving the Port of Miami
Tuesday we were in Nassau.
Atlantis Resort, one of the highlights of Paradise
Island/Nassau.
Several of us took the "Discover Atlantis" tour which includes a
waterscape
with a series of walk-through aquariums, "Ruins Lagoon," a recreation
of
mythical Atlantis, "The Dig," a replica of an archeological excavation
site, and "Predator Lagoon," where we saw sharks, barracuda and other
creatures
from the deep.
Wednesday
we enjoyed a full day on Royal Caribbean's private island,
CocoCay.
People went swimming, snorkeling, sail boating, or just relaxed
on
the beach. The ship's chefs provided an island barbeque.
Since
the ship could not dock right at the beach, tenders ran back and forth
every 30 minutes between the ship and the island.

and took some sightseeing tours. Several stopped in for a drink
at
one of Ernest Hemingway's old haunts.
Harbor at Key West
Some went on the Glass-Bottom Boat Tour in Key West
And, yes a few did partake of Key Lime pie on our visit to
Key West.
Yummy!

Another of our alumni, Carl Hansen, WHS '70, and his wife
were on
this cruise with us. They had their younger children with them and
dined
at the early seating. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend much
time with them. Carl, if you have any pictures to share,
please
send them to me,
