There has been some good activity this month and there are now six sales pending and there have been two closings. The following figures have been obtained from the Mid Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service.

Of the panding sales two are San Salvador apartments and both at $121600, two are Andros apartments at $139000 and $149900 and two are Abacos type apartments at $129900 and $145000. I will report on these again next month by which time they should have closed.

The apartments that have closed are an Abacos listed at $154950 and sold at $135000 and a Gran Bahama listed at $202000 and sold at $182000. 

Thirty apartments are now listed for sale across all types. There are seven San Salvadors ranging from $119900 to $215000, ten Andros from $132000 to $214867, nine Abacos from $144900 to $250000 and four Gran Bahama from $169900 to $235000. So you can see there is plenty of choice and a good price range.

Undoubtably now is a good time to invest and this is prime time with the Spring Season underway and Bahama Bay is looking attractive both as an investment and as a Resort.

If you feel I can be of help with advice or to list or buy please feel free to drop me an email or give me a call.

A great win for Lorena Ochoa at -19 beating Yani Tseng by three strokes and third were Suzann Petersen and Teresa Lu on -11.

The day started with a rain delay of about 40 minutes and this rain altered the greens a lot making them more receptive and a little slower.

This is Lorena's fourth win in a row and she joins four others who accomplished this. It also brings to an end her run of close finishes in this event where she has been second on a number of occasions.

Laura Davis (UK) finished tied 44th.

Well done Lorena.

You can get the full result by going to www.ginnopen.com. Remember Bahama Bay Resort for next year's event.

This morning, Sunday,  the morning of the final round we have had some rain as a weakening cold front goes through the area. I expect this will have freshened up the course and it could make the greens more receptive.

At present after four holes of the final round Lorena Ochoa is tied with Yani Tseng at -17 and Teresa Lu is third at -11. It looks as though these three will fight out the final round. Could it go to extra holes???

Laura Davis (UK) is tied 49th at even par. She has started out -1 starting from the eighteenth.

For next years tournament book your apartment at Bahama Bay Resort. If you can't wait wait that long book it now and enjoy the late spring and early summer weather.

I have received an email from P & F. R. guests from the UK who stayed in our Andros apartment from 4th - 19th April 2008.

"As our time in your apartment draws to a close we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed staying at Bahama Bay. The apartment was just perfect for the family and the location is also good for getting to the various parks and especially the Gulf Coast.

Alas with the weather (it was cool at times during their stay) and our itinerary we were unable to make full use of the pools, but we did meet the alligator at the dock!

We have no reservations in recommending your apartment to friends, relatives etc. Thanks."

Another great day with blue skies and the occasional cloud. Still a little wind about but it appears the course is playing well.

Yani Tseng is still leading at -13 after four holes in the third round. There is a four way tie for second between Lorena Ochoa, Teresa Lu, Suzann Petersen and Minea Blomqvist all of which are on -10 after four or five holes today.

Unfortunately it seems that Laura Davis (UK) has dropped away deep in to the following pack. This is a shame as she did so well last year for much of the tournament

Bahama Bay Resort is the place to stay for The Ginn Open. It is only a short drive away from the course and the place to relax after a hard day watching the golf.

The weather yesterday was great for golf and there appeared to be a good turnout of spectators also. The car parks were pretty full as I drove past down I.4.

Yani Tseng is currently leading the field at ten under par after carding a four under par round yesterday and following that up with a six under par score going through nine holes today. Lorena Ochoa is four under after yesterday and eight holes today and Laura Davis from the UK is yet to start her second round but is standing on two under so far.

Today is looking like another great day with plenty of sunshine with just a few clouds . There is a little breeze but at present it is pretty calm. There could be some good scores !! The rest of the weekend is looking pretty good also with just a small chance of a shower maybe on the final day.

Look out for further reports as The Ginn Open continues.

The Flower and Garden Show is now on at Epcot through to June.

I hope to visiting it shortly and will report back. Last year it was a great and colorful event with plenty to look at and learn.

Bahama Bay is the place to stay it is only minutes away and good for relaxation after a hard day at Disney.

I have received this comment from G.T. a guest from the UK.

"Just to let you know we had a fantastic time at Bahama Bay. Beautiful resort and your apartment was just the job - plenty of space for the four of us.

Thanks for all your help - I would recommend Bahama Bay to anyone."

G.T. stayed in our own San Salvador type apartment from March 18th - April 1st 2008. You can reserve this apartment by visiting www.bahamabayvacationrentals.com.

I was down in Disney World the other day and I noticed the name change at the entrance. Disney MGM Studios is now Disney's Hollywood Studios.

I understand the partners have gone their separate ways and it is now appropriate to rename the attraction.

I do not believe anything else has changed and the Park is as good as ever.

Remember Bahama Bay Resort is only a few minutes from Disney so make it your vacation center.
