We arrived at the house, located right on the clear turquoise ocean, and cracked open some beers. Who needs to go anywhere when you're with a party of 13, a pool, jacuzzi, and this kind of view. 

Bahamas in July is hot hot hot! Pack lightly, a carry-on is all you need even for a week long vacay here. I wore this romper for the 4th of July out at the Atlantis. It's the perfect dressy beach outfit that you can transition from day to night from the rum shack to caribean lounge. 

I just returned from my Maui, one of my favorite islands. The warm waters, the sunshine, the waterfalls, the rainforest, and the poke!
