Bahamas aren’t paradise
By Chris Hopfensperger
Senior Editor
Say “Bahamas.”
Feel the word roll across your
tongue like an ocean wave gently
lapping at a sandy beach.
Close your eyes and think
“Bahamas.”
Imagine the tropical sun as it
beats on your bare skin.
Go to the Bahamas.
Have your dreams crushed like
a soft melon under a big hammer.
It isn’t always sunny in the
Bahamas,despitewhattheold men
in gas stations tell you about the
weather in “The Islands."
It isn’t cool staying in a $200
dollar-a-night resort when you sneak
through the lobby with three bags
of groceries from Winn Dixie.
And it isn’t fun gambling. You
might get free drinks, but by the
time you’ve finished your second
Jack and Coke, you’ve lost $60 and
the urge to win the “Big Bucks.”
You can’t walk around in the
Bahamas. Not only do they drive
on the wrong side of the road, they
drive worse than a high school kid
after a six pack of beer.
You can’t drink the water in the
Bahamas, or you’ll spend the week
soaking up the rays of the fluores
cent light above the toilet.
And, worst of all, you can’t get
off cheap in the Bahamas. A sam
pling: two Long Island Iced Teas
and a Sloe Comfortable Screw, $19;
pack of Oreos and gallon of milk,
59.16; can of beer, 53 95.
But don’t worry, when you get
back you won’t have to tell anyone
what a hell your vacation in the
tropical paradise was.
You will, however, have to
answer to Visa—at least some day.
