What is your favorite trip you’ve ever taken? 

A vacation to the Bahamas. We stayed on Eleuthera island.

Why do you like it there? 

The water is so pretty, and the beaches on the island were secluded, so no one was there. I also loved the food. Fresh conch salad is amazing!

When is your favorite time of year to go there? 

Summer, but definitely wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to go any time of the year

What is your favorite thing about this place?

 It’s perfect to just get away and great for relaxation.

Who did you go there with? 

My family and another family who are our close friends. 

What is your favorite thing to do there?

 We went snorkeling, but I also liked relaxing on the beach and reading. We also went to harbor island for a day, which is known for its pink sand beach. 

Is there anything else you’d like to add? 

We also went to a blue hole and jumped in while we were there, which is kind of terrifying because blue holes are giant sinkholes that are usually unexplored, so no one knows how deep it is or what could be lurking in the water.
