Bahamian Spots

At 6:30 a.m., Potter’s Cay Dock in Nassau is already humming. Fishermen unload the morning catch, and a line of day-trippers snakes toward the check-in counter for the M/V Bo Hengy III, the weekend ferry that runs to Harbour Island. By 8 a.m., the catamaran pushes off for a three-hour crossing that ends at one of the most photographed beaches in the Bahamas — the three-mile stretch of pink sand on Harbour Island’s Atlantic side. This article is for anyone staying in Nassau who wants to know whether a single-day run to Harbour Island actually works — the logistics,

The year 2016 brought me to Freeport after a significant hurricane had passed through. The island was still in its recovery phase, and I remember reading a few discouraging reviews that made me a bit hesitant. However, a cruise and stay package presented an irresistible opportunity. The cruise would bring me to the island, allowing for several nights at a resort before continuing my journey. It turned out to be much more than I expected. Resort Beauty and Warm Staff Even with the lingering signs of the hurricane, the resort grounds were truly beautiful. The swimming pool, in particular,

The rhythmic clang of the trams in Rome, the scent of freshly baked pastries wafting from a corner pasticceria, and the sheer joy of watching my children chase pigeons in a sun-drenched piazza—these are the moments that fill my travel journal. Italy has become our family’s beautiful, chaotic, and endlessly fascinating home base. We’re not just passing through; we’re weaving our lives into the fabric of this incredible country, one town at a time. Michael, my husband, often juggles his work remotely from a small café, while Lily and Ethan, my adventurous little ones, discover hidden courtyards and new

It’s always a journey when you travel, isn’t it? Sometimes you find unexpected treasures, and other times, well, you learn a lot about what you don’t want in an experience. That was certainly the case for the latter part of our honeymoon. We had such a wonderful time in the Dominican Republic, and I was so looking forward to the second leg of our trip in the Bahamas, specifically at The Royal Atlantis. I’d heard so much, and my hopes were high for a truly magical time. Resort Arrival and Initial Challenges Our adventure to the Bahamas began with

The world of tropical resorts, especially in the Bahamas, offers such a tapestry of experiences. I’ve always been drawn to places where the water is crystal clear and the opportunities for relaxation and gentle adventure abound. My memories of visiting Atlantis a decade ago, and then again the following year, are particularly fond ones, filled with the joy of sunshine and the sound of the ocean. Life, with its beautiful detours like family trips and, of course, a pause in travel, has a way of shifting our perspectives and our priorities. Now, as a significant birthday approaches, I find

The Bahamas welcomed 12.5 million visitors in 2025, yet scattered across its 700 islands and cays are pockets of shoreline where the loudest sound is lapping water and the only crowd is a line of pelicans. If your idea of a perfect beach day involves more solitude than socializing, a handful of islands deliver exactly that. The Bahamas welcomed 12.5 million visitors in 2025, but islands like Eleuthera and Cat Island still offer stretches of sand where you might count the people on one hand. For introverts, the challenge isn’t finding beautiful water — it’s finding beautiful water without

It brings me such joy to share my experiences from my latest travels, and today I want to talk about a place that truly captured my heart: Bimini. It’s an island that whispered promises of tranquility and delivered an experience far beyond my initial expectations, transforming a simple getaway into a collection of cherished moments. Michael and the kids have been asking about my recent solo trip, and I can’t wait to tell them all about it. Island Charm There’s a unique charm to Bimini, an unspoiled quality that feels increasingly rare these days. It’s a place where the

It feels like just yesterday I was watching the news, and another fire was breaking out. It’s been a year where flames seem to have been everywhere, each incident a stark reminder of an ongoing problem. It makes you pause and wonder about the deeper issues at play. Recent Fires and Concerns There was the fire at Victoria Court, which certainly caught everyone’s attention. But even before that, we saw the devastating bush fires in Grand Bahama. And then, a building housing Solomons/Cost Right caught fire, not long after the new Labour Department building also tragically burned. It’s been
