I had been there once as a teenager, but didn’t really get to see or do much. It was more of a stopover than a visit. At the beginning of May this year, my husband…
The Bahamas are a hot cruise destination for many reasons, but one reason is because the islands are so close to the Southeast coast of Florida!
