Bahamas
The Bahamas are the closest and easiest of
the Caribbean islands to reach from the mainland United States. With 700
emerald green islands and cays that stretch over 100,000 miles of the
bluest seas, the Bahamas offer something for every type of traveler. The
diving is world-class, and the fishing and sailing are renowned. The
islands in the heart of the Bahamas offer luxury resorts with casinos and
superb dining, while the outer islands offer a casual pace, perfect for
low-key luxury.
