The Bahamas
is not just a single place to visit as most people think,
but rather an archipelago stretching mile and miles. There
are hundreds of islands that make up the Bahamas, each with
a diverse environment and ambience. Some of the islands of
the Bahamas include Grand Bahamas Island, Nassau, Paradise
Island,The Abacos, Acklins,Crooked Island, Andros,The Berry
Islands, Bimini, Cat Island, Eleuthera/Harbour Island, The
Exumas, Inagua ,Long Island, Mayaguana, and San Salvador.
Each island has a unique flavor that visitors usually enjoy.
Some islands are more secluded and untouched by man-made production
which make them perfect for escaping the big city.
When visiting the Bahamas, a good sign
to look for is the Bahamas Host Logo or Decal. This mark symbolizes
those trained in the hospitality field about all the workings
of the Bahamas from history to environment. This logo designates
that the person has gone through a program educating them
on proper aspects of Bahamas tourism.
Many goods are tax free in the Bahamas.
These include cameras, watches, leather goods, china, and
much more. It is a good idea to bring extra money for shopping
because the savings could be pretty good on some goods. However
US customs only allows up to $600 dollars worth of tax free
merchandise.
Bahamas weather is perfect year round.
The Bahamas breeze that blows from the trade winds causes
the climate to be gently warm climate all year long. The temperature
usually does not go over 90 degrees Fahrenheit with some high
humidity in the summer season. It is a good idea, however,
to make sure to watch weather reports during the rainy seasons(May
till November) and hurricane season(June till November).
There are different airports on the island
of the Bahamas and its a good idea to fly to your accomodation
location. There are beaches everywhere so beach enthusiast
