Kathie Lee and Hoda sample some local aphrodisiacs

It was a wild first night at Atlantis, and poor Hoda is feeling the effects of yesterday's shots. Sadly, for Hoda, we're not speaking of booze.

If you missed it, yesterday Hoda and Kathie Lee were offered the unique Bahamian experience of slurping down raw conch. According to local lore, eating a certain slimy portion of the sea slug – called the "pistol" – has incredible aphrodisiac powers.

The girls made a pact to do the seafood shot together, but alas, only Hoda went through with it. Ah, burned by the old "You go first!" trick.

This morning, KLG impishly replayed the footage and hinted that Hoda had suffered some sort of gastrointestinal distress, which seemed like insult to injury.

"Do you know what it's like working with Kathie Lee Gifford?" Hoda sighed. Uh, awesome? No word on whether or not the aphrodisiac thing was a go, and thankfully nobody pressed Hoda on the issue, as she probably already needs a vacation from this vacation. She's been through enough.

TODAY's Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb live it up at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas by wearing a special island-themed bikini, trying Kalik beer and a guava duff dessert.

    Hoda and Kath,

    While in the Bahamas you need to see if a gentleman named Freddie is still available for tours coming off the ships...he was wonderful to our family when we visited there. Our kids were 3 & 8 years of age at the time and we would love to go back when we can. Money has been tight the last few years(quite a few years in fact)so we have not had a vacation since then. But take my word you will enjoy Freddie if you can find him. He is very tall, clean cut and quite hospitable, I wish we could visit him again.

        Love watching your show. The whole Today Show family seems part of my family. Just wanted to say I loved your Atlantis show. I love Atlantis, have been there several times. It was the place of my best Valentine's Day ever. I was there with my husband in January of 2001, for the first time. I thought, "My Dad would love this.". My mom had passed away in 1998 and my Dad was battling colon cancer for the 2nd time. So I took him to Atlantis in February of 2001 and we were there for Valentine's Day. I took him wading with the dolphins at Blue Lagoon's Dolphin Encounter, as Atlantis did not have their Dolphin Cove then, and lots of other adventures. We spent Valentine's evening dining at one of their great restaurants and my Dad and I had a great time. I lost my Dad on Valentine's Day 2002, and that was my worst Valentine's Day. But I am so glad that I got to take him on that magical trip to Atlantis. I have that to remember always.

            I love that off shoulder dress Kathie Lee wore. Where can I find it?
