Site Redesign

Or more appropriately, I picked a different template. It used to be really green. Then I realized I couldn't "own" green. But I kept it anyway until I got sick of looking at it.

So The Islands Of The Bahamas is not an exception. 4 days in Nassau and Harbour Island-it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it...
