Swimming with Pigs in the Bahamas was a dream father-daughter trip for Egypt for many years and we finally made it happen in 2025. I decided to use most of my airline and hotel points to give Egypt a special trip since she had been asking for this for many years and I realize that one of these trips will be our last trip as she starts her adult life in the near future. I'll still hope for many more.

This is really Egypt's story and she shared it on her social media channels in real time and I'm going to let the pictures below do most of the talking. I will say, her dreams did come true and I also had an amazing time with her for a week in paradise. Egypt turned most of our excursions into photo shoots and I hope you enjoy the story.

They don't ask and we didn't tell Egypt's age 

Most days consisted of several visits to the pool

We didn't rent a car, so we used taxis and shuttle buses
