Bahamas - 2001

Cruise to the Bahamas, President's Club, March 12-16, 2001

In 2001, I was nominated for President's Club, an award where my company recognizes employees for outstanding contribution.  I was lucky enough to be one of four recipients receiving the award at our local office for work performed during the year 2000.  This award is much more than most corporations' pat on the back.

Over 300 employees received an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas.  Perks included five days off work, airfare, a Royal Caribbean cruise, all-inclusive drink card, $450 spending money, AND we could each bring a guest. 

Some of my favorite memories include:

Arriving in our room to find a bottle of chilled champagne,

Surprise gifts left in the room after each dinner (including a clock, two beach towels with company logo, and a beach bag stocked with sunscreen and a disposable camera),

bullet

Dolphin Encounters, where we were able to hug, kiss, touch, and feed a dolphin,

bullet

Parasailing, which was AWESOME, despite my fear of heights,

Relaxing on the beach,

All the meals (with many various interesting, annoying, and otherwise amusing companions).  On a cruise, you never know what you're gonna get!
