The Girlies are gone to the Bahamas

Hi ladies! 🌴💛
We’re officially less than 30 days away from heading to the Bahamas!
First, I want to thank you all for being so flexible, understanding, and supportive throughout the planning process. This wasn’t necessarily difficult, but it was new territory for me... so thank you for trusting me, my internet access, and my audacity 😄.

I’m really excited to experience this trip with all of you and wanted to share a loose itinerary as a starting point. Please feel free to suggest changes, additions, or ideas... nothing is set in stone.

I’ve watched a few YouTube videos for inspiration and will link them below. I’d love for everyone to share their thoughts so we can shape this trip together as a group.
Can’t wait! 🌴💛

## 🌴 Girlies Cruise – Notes

• Even if we don’t spend every day together, all of our dinners are scheduled at the same time and same table. If possible, I’d love to keep this so we at least see each other once daily.
• In my opinion, it’s a bit of a safety thing but please don’t feel pressured if you need to do your own thing.
• At some point, I’d love for us to get a group photo.
• I’m thinking we pick a color scheme... Open to ideas!
• My mom and aunt will be around… minding their business lol, and I’ll need to check in with them here and there to make sure they’re comfortable.

## 🛳️ Proposed Itinerary

### Day 1 – Embarkation (Norfolk)

• Does anyone need to coordinate arrival to Norfolk?
• I expect this day to be heavy on logistics... getting there on time, boarding, lines, finding rooms, etc.
• I suggest we focus on getting settled and then link back up later in the day to walk around and get familiar with the ship.

### ✨ Final Thought

This is meant to be fun, flexible, and low pressure. We’ll have shared moments and personal time... and that’s exactly how a girls’ trip should be, right?
