The temperatures were comfortable, but the humidity was outrageous
My best friend and I went on a vacation to the Bahamas. We had saved for over a year to get enough money to get a small bungalow on the beach. Wethought it was going to be the most amazing trip we would ever take, except for when I went on my honeymoon. This was to be our last friend’s hurrah before I got married. We followed the weather reports for the month before we were to get on the plane, and it looked like it was going to be perfect weather the entire week. When we arrived at the airport in the Bahamas, there was a flurry of activity. They were expecting a tropical storm, and they were putting up sand bags to keep the beach from eroding. They said it shouldn’t affect our vacation for more than a day or two, except for higher tides. We had an entire week in this paradise, and we didn’t care to miss a day or two. When the storm came in, however, it was a category one hurricane with a lot of rain and wind. The power was knocked out on most of the island, and we didn’t have any air conditioning. The temperatures were comfortable, but the humidity was outrageous. Without air conditioning, we weren’t getting any sleep, and we couldn’t go out because of the rain. They brought large umbrellas to our bungalow so we could get to the kitchen for food, but without power, they couldn’t cook, so we had sandwiches for three days in a row. I never thought anything could ruin our Bahamas vacation, but lack of air conditioning almost did.
