Have you been to Harbour Island, Bahamas?

In both 1986 and 1990 my husband and I had the great pleasure of visiting Harbour Island, Bahamas because we had a friend who had a vacation home there. The picture to the left does not convey the peace and soliture we found there, but I guess a few more people have discovered the island now.
Harbour Island Bahamas is located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera Island. The largest city in Harbour Island Bahamas is Dunmore Town, and the island still maintains much of the old time charm of the Bahamas that has been obscured by resorts and casinos on larger islands like Paradise or New Providence. That isn’t to say, however, that Harbour Islands Bahamas doesn’t have some excellent resorts of its own. The island also features the famous three mile stretch of pink sand beach, which is the perfect place for swimming, diving, and snorkeling.
Harbour Island is one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas, and to reach you will need to either take a boat or plane from the island’s neighbor, Eleuthera Island. As one of the oldest settlements, there are some excellent historical sites that are worth seeing. A walk through Dunmore Town will take only about 30 minutes, but the relaxed atmosphere of the town and the old buildings will make it a pleasant stroll. Along the way, you can check out Loyalist Cottage (so named for the loyalist who built it in 1797 when he left America after the Revolutionary War to hold his allegiance to the crown), St. John’s church and the Wesley Methodist church. Both buildings are quite old and still in use.

Report two on our fabulous cruise!

If you haven't already read th report on Cash Family Travel, be sure to read that first! Day two was much, much calmer and when we got to Grand Turk, the weather could not have been more beautiful! In the picture to the left you see me on the beach with the cruise ship in the background! This was taken when my three daughters and I were on a bike and hike tour of the island which was just gorgeous! Of course we thought we were going to Key West and Cozumel so we had to re-book and re-choose all of our shore excursions. My two sons-in-law did "Power Snorkeling" and loved it! You'll see more pix from our shore excursions on "Boomeropia" in just a few minutes!

Chantdoc prepares for Carribbean Cruise

I'm soooo excited!!! In just a little over a week I'm leaving on a Carribbean cruise with my three daughters and two husbands! The kids are taking me on this wonderful trip as a 60th birthday present and I can't think of anything better!

We'll leave out of the Port of Miami on Monday, August 18 and arrive in Key West on Tuesday morning. We'll spend the better part of the day there and then leave late afternoon for Cozumel! We'll wake up Wednesday a.m. in Cozumel and have all day there until pulling out about midnight. We spend all day Thursday at sea and then wake up Friday morning pulling into the Port of Miami! I'll keep you posted about our activities while on the cruise!
