Recently, she went somewhere tropical and came back boasting about how she swam with the dolphins and the surreality of it. You politely smile, nod and pretend to listen to her wax on about how wonderful it was while rolling your eyes on the inside.\u00a0 It\u2019s not as though she rode a shark or high-fived a polar bear.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, swimming with the dolphins is a great thing to do, a unique activity for the rest of us who don\u2019t live anywhere near them. However, it is one of those things you have to do if you\u2019re visiting Hawaii, the Keys, Bermuda, etc. so most people who travel to these places come back with similar stories and photos.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s your turn to one-up her travel stories. Head to the Bahamas and visit the Exuma Islands. Here, you can soak up some sun on the crystal-white sands, cruise the island on a scooter or sail out to Big Major Cay to swim with pigs. Yes, you read that correctly. When you pull up to the island in your boat, these little cuties dive right in and swim up to greet you. They\u2019ve become accustomed to locals feeding them table scraps, so visitors should try to remember to stuff their satchel with some bread or other pig-friendly snacks. \u00a0You can walk the beach with these guys, sit and play with them or jump in the ocean and have a race. They\u2019re game for whatever you want to do, as long as you give them attention and something to eat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4068 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Bahama-Pigs-on-the-Beach4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"290\" \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4051\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Bahama-Swimming-Pig-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you come back from your vacation, blissful and tan, pay Cassie a visit.
