Bahamas - Go Now!

It's 28C in the Bahamas today. It's the same tomorrow, and the day after. It sure beats the weather here. But nobody talks about the weather in the Bahamas, because it's always the same. It's always gorgeous and warm, and in that 25-28C range year round. If it rains, it's just for a few minutes and the sun returns.

Air fare costs are more like the Canadian weather... up and down. Volatile, and unpredictable in the winter. However, I've spied a bargain.

If you go on April 15th, and return the 23rd, you can get return air fare, tax included at $415/436/500 from GFK/MOT/YWG airports. This is with Delta Airlines.  So, even if you're not interested in catching the flight from Grand Forks, you can still fly cheaply out of Winnipeg.

I've stayed at the Sheraton Cable Beach. It's my favourite Sheraton on earth (so far). I've also stayed several times at Atlantis.  Nothing satisfies like Atlantis! It literally has something for everyone and at all budgets. (As long as your budget starts at $200 per night).

You could also stay at the Comfort Inn, which is next door to Atlantis. It's a sister hotel, and you have all the waterpark privileges included at Atlantis. So that's a nice little savings, if you're willing to stay a further walk from the pools/casino etc.

The Sheraton is currently offering every 4th night free. So, since this is an 8 night stay, it kind of lines up nicely.

The Lyndon Pilling International Airport at NAS is brand new. Absolutely amazing. It was opened mid  October 2012. I was through there shortly after. It's fairly similar to YWG right now. It's also leaps above the Caribbean hut on an airstrip that was there previously.  It's currently the best airport in the Caribbean IMO.  You should check it out!

At $415 air fare, you'll have plenty of money left over to buy straw market crafts.

It IS BETTER in the BAHAMAS!
