On Friday, Ana Maria and I departed the Port of Marin in southern Martinique and landed in the Port of Castries, St. Lucia around 4PM. We took a brief taxi ride to Rodney Bay Village to find my favorite hotel thus far in our travels.

Well, I just got back from a weekend in Harbour Island in Eleuthera, Bahamas. My Bahamian buddy Jason was my travel companion. The adventure began with our flight Saturday morning...we arrived at the airport 10 minutes before departure because my alarm did not go off! We were checked-in and put on the plane--only in the Bahamas!!! That would have NEVER happened in ATL. Bahamas Air flies from Nassau into the North Eleuthera Airport (there are 3 airports on Eleuthera). From there, you can take a $4 one-way taxi cab (5 minutes) to the water taxi which is $4 one-way (approx 10 [View Full Entry]
