An Invitation to the Bahamas
No amount of research and planning can really prepare anyone for the exhilaration of touching down in Nassau, Bahamas. In December of 2008, the island paradise hosted the fifth annual Bahamas International Festival, which was unlike any other film festival locale we’ve visited in recent years. Those who attended the prestigious event were in for the surprise of a lifetime.
Upon arrival, visitors were instantaneously swept away by the lavish culture, the exotic and divine delicacies available in abundance, and the genuine warmth of the people. The Bahamas will prove to be more than a getaway — the island group is a home away from home, as evidenced by the growing list of celebrities establishing vacation homes there. So instead of guiltily hoarding the many Bahamian pleasures ro staff discovered during our stay, we’d like to extend an invitation for you to experience the sights and sounds that colored and contributed to our four-day excursion. Visit Bahamas.com and take advantage of some of the many exciting events happening on any of the 70 Bahamian islands in 2009. Following are a few of our suggestions. –dewayne rogers and roz edward |
