Hurricane Irma - September 1, 2017

We left Oklahoma City early in the morning and headed for Nassau, Bahamas. We had no issues with our flights and arrived on time. This was our first time checking in at the British Colonial Hilton and it did not disappoint. Right on ocean, next to where all the cruise ships park. We had Senor Frogs around the corner, Fat Tuesday down the street and John Watlings distillery up the hill. All within walking distance. There was no concern regarding hurricanes.

I love the John Watlings distillery. There's so much history and rum! Felix does the best job mixing up the drinks for us. After 3 years of visiting with Felix, each trip, we became Facebook friends.

We enjoyed a Sands and ate Mcdonalds for dinner. It was right across the street from the hotel. Talk about convenient!

The port is constantly full of cruise ships and it is the lifeblood of Nassau. The port can hold 5 ships and on some days, that's how many are there. This part of town is full of tourists and its a fun part of the Bahamas.

Mount Gay Rum Distillery

I had a fantastic time touring the distillery. It was established in 1703 which is crazy old!

There was old equipment, and photos and a video. 

In this building, 10,000 bottles of rum gets bottled daily. All of the rum comes from Barbados. There is no other facility that does it. That's pretty cool!

There was plenty of rum as well. 

There was no shortage of rum. 

We had tons of fun drinking rum ad shopping.

We bought more rum, a magnet and a tshirt for me. 

The bar was well equipped with friendly bartenders, rum concoctions and water. 

The taxi driver had another trip to get to and we seriously needed lunch. So we bought two more drinks to go because that's allowed on vacation.
