The Bahamas

Well you know what they say, "it's better in the Bahamas."....we'll, at least that's what my vanity plate says.

Favorite stop- Junkanoo Beach. Say hey to Barry at J'yah. Enjoy clear waters, maybe a little snorkeling.

Worth a few hours- check out Ardastra Gardens. You won't regret the chance to feed the parrots apple slices.

Shopping in the Straw Market- you just have to bring home a few souveniers afterall! Be prepared to haggle.

Nassau is a frequent stop for a short cruise (3-6 days). 

Ireland

Today's Destination Spotlight is being done in honor of St. Patty's Day.
What comes to mind when we think of the Emerald Isle? Leprechauns aside, the Irish have a bit of luck when you consider the beauty of their land.

With two official UNESCO sites already Bru na Boinne & Skellig Michael, as well as five potential sites to be added in the next ten years, Ireland has much to be proud of.

TO DO & SEE- Rolling hills, cliffs & castles.  Plan to check out a pub or two, of course.  For something a bit more unique, consider   Bram Stoker's Castle Dracula Attraction in Dublin. Top attraction- Guiness Storehouse

Considering a travel to Ireland? How much of the land can you see & how long can you, as always you will have to consult your budget.  Ask yourself if you would like to include a bit of England or Scotland.  Go it alone or hook up with a tour?

Be prepared. Among other things, you'll want to ensure your passport doesn't expire within 6 months of your trip!
