BahamasJust off the coast of Florida lies the Bahamas, a country made up of 700 islands, each with a different physical and historical makeup. There's an island perfect for everyone. Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach are filled with white beaches, Goombay punch, and hundreds of years of democracy. Visit Freeport to experience its hot days and even hotter nights. And then there's the Family Islands, like the Abacos and Eleuthera, which teem with elegance and are so quiet, you can hear your heart jump for joy.

Did You Know?
The currency in the Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar (B$1), which is equivalent in value to the US dollar. Both U.S. and Bahamian dollars are accepted throughout the island, as are US dollar travelers checks and most major credit cards.
There are many forms of ground transportation including car, bicycle and scooter rentals (driving is on the left hand side of the road). Taxis are available, as well as horse-drawn surreys for sightseeing. Ferry service is available for inter-island transportation.
Bay Street, the International Bazaar, and the Nassau Straw Market are excellent shopping locations.
