Time to Head for the Bahamas

The Bahamas are one of my two favorite vacation destinations on the U.S. side of the ocean. That being so, it's almost time for my semi-annual visit. I'll be heading first to Nassau and Paradise Island, then on to Freeport, and then who knows where, perhaps Eluethera or even remote Mayaguana; I'll do a little fishing, play a little golf, eat a little fresh seafood (maybe a lot of fresh seafood), some conch salad, and drink a rum punch, or two, or maybe more; it just doesn't get any better than that. Take it from me, this is one outing I look forward to all year long; it never gets old (I've been writing travel guide books about the Bahamas for more than 20 years). If I were a wealthy guy, I would be living there. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so once again I'll hit the airways, and the golf courses, and enjoy my moments in the sun.

 

The Bahamas are an ideal choice for a golf vacation or group outing. You can count on blue skies and balmy breezes the year-round. Winter or summer, you can play golf with little fear of interruption by the weather: Nassau averages seven hours of sunshine daily, and when it does rain, it seldom lasts for longer than 15 minutes, or so,  even during the rainy season (May). The average temperature during the winter months is around 70° which means the grass is always green and you can Play Golf in the Bahamas just about 365 days a year.
