The
islands of the Bahamas are absolutely beautiful. My first trip to this
country was the first international trip I had ever taken. I was 19
years old at the time. I took a casino junket flight from West Palm
Beach to
Freeport and had a great time. Since then, I returned four times on
cruises to the Eastern Caribbean in 2006, stopping in Princess Cay,
2008 and 2018 stopping in Nassau, and in 2014, stopping in Half Moon
Cay.

Arawak Indians inhabited the islands when
Christopher Columbus first
set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. The British settled
of the islands in 1647 and the islands became a colony of Britain in
1783.
Since gaining their independence from the United Kingdom (Great
Britain) in 1973, The Bahamas have
prospered mostly through tourism, with help from it's banks and
investment companies. |
