Contemplating if the multiple layovers, puddle-jumpers, and less than luxe airports may be worth it? It is.

A trip to The Bahamas may not be easy nor smooth but that's because every ounce of ease you seek is waiting for you on the other side. Think about sand so white, water so blue, and sun so warm that it all feels fabricated. But it’s not. You’ve got all of it, plus a layer of salt atop your sun-kissed skin.
As a blonde with blue eyes and with a convoluted hybrid use of the metric and imperial systems, my involuntary and often un-offered party trick is the answer to that common question of "Oh, where are you from?”
Unfortunately your geography lessons likely never shed too much light on the brilliant blues sitting between Miami and Cuba, but as both a Well Traveled member and someone born and raised in The Bahamas, I’d love to fill that gap for you.
If you’re looking for:
Untouched beaches with no one in sight
…There’s an island for that
Beach bars with fresh caught fish
…There’s an island for that
Bareback riding on pink sand
…There’s an island for that
Dolphin sightings and turtle visits
…There’s an island for that
Junkanoo until the morning hours
…There’s an island for that
Local bakeries with homemade bread you can smell for miles
…There’s an island for that
Snorkling on reefs where there are almost too many fish
…There’s an island for that
An excuse to drink dark rum
…There’s an island for that (it’s all of them)

For purposes of your busy day, here’s the tl;dr. The Bahamas is hands down the most stunning place. Every trip can be different than the last but the core beauty remains the same.
What can I say, there’s a piece of me in the big blue sea.
