To Do in/around Bimini

Image
23rd and 30th are travel, packing, unpacking, and not much else.  Possibly leaves 24,5,6,7,8,and 9 which is 6 days.  Although if check-in time at the apartment is 2p and we leave Ft. Lauderdale at 6a, we might have significant exploring time on the 23rd.  I recommend exploring South Bimini on the 23rd.  There is a beach, a nature trail, a Shark Lab, a reef, and a restaurant.  Being on land will allow Tina's (and anyone else who gets seasick) stomach to settle.   Top attractions: 1 A, 2 B, 3 C&G 4 D&H 5 E&F 6 I&J  Looks like 6 days worth of stuff to do. A. Gun Cay with Honeymoon Harbor, Gun Cay light house, snorkeling and beach.  over 10 miles by boat, whole day.  Lunch = deli take out to bring on the boat? B. South Bimini, beaches (Tiki Hut Beach, west coast of South Bimini), nature trail, shark lab, Shell Beach (west coast, has shells and snorkeling.  Is it the same as Tiki Hut Beach, just with a different name?).  Whole day.  Lunch Thirsty Turtle. C. Rainbow Reef,

travel day one

 Part of our group lives in a traffic-heavy area so when we discussed times to leave, they said leaving before 9a does not decrease the arrival time, it just increases the amount of time in stop-and-go.  So we planned to leave at 9a and managed to actually leave at 9:13 and 9:16, respectively.  We had planned to take the Richmond bypass because it has a lot less merging traffic and less bridge joints to jolt the trucks and trailers than taking i95 directly through Richmond.  From there we would stop at Rivers Bend Grill in Chesterfield, VA because we'd get there around noon, and it is easily accessible from the bypass.  Early that morning one of our group realized Rivers Bend is closed on Mondays, so we had to pick something else.  I found that Central Park Deli shares a parking lot with Kroger (grocery stores are likely to have lots of empty spaces which allows for space for parking the rigs), and it got pretty good reviews.  What I didn't realize was that the Deli is actually
