Gov. Charlie Crist, RPOF Chairman Jim Greer and a "few friends" are headed to the Bahamas on Saturday for some fun.

"I've invited a few of my friends and the governor has invited some friends," Greer told the Buzz after landing in South Carolina to attend tonight's Republican presidential debate on Fox News.

But Greer wouldn't say who those friends are, only describing them as people who have been generous to Republican Party and the Vote Yes on 1 campaign. "It's not a fundraiser," he insisted, adding that he might still "ask a few for help in the coming year."

"We're going down to have a day of fishing, some boating and maybe some golf," Greer said.
