Tommy Parke and I flew with Bill Bagget (redland campus pastor) and pilot Kyle Turk to the Bahamas this past Thursday.
No. It wasn't a vacation, but it was pretty cool.
We went to do some "recon" for possible future mission trips. We met with some good guys from the Eleuthra Bible Training Center and the missionaries that live there. The Bahamians were very inviting and we enjoyed our short time there.
The flight was amazing. It's literally the tiniest plane I've ever been on, but that made it especially cool. The views were awesome flying over the Caribbean sea...we could literally see things on the bottom of the ocean floor in hundreds of feet of water. Amazing.
The chair is the place to be at sunset.
Here are a couple of things I learned on this short trip:
1. a half gallon of milk on Eleuthra is $6.
2. everything on the island is brought by boat or plane due to no industry there.
3. a form of 'caste' system still exists there.
4. i could handle living on a house that faces the ocean. Mornings are awesome.
