Back in the Bahamas
Just when I thought I could not possibly write another article about The Bahamas, here I am 😉 Our family of 4 has the amazing opportunity to go to Paradise Island with my parents every other year. Our children have been going since before they could walk. My brother and I first visited the island in 1991. And, R has to be nearing double digits on his Bahamas passport stamp status. It was C’s first visit, and it was so much fun to have her there with us!

A Guide to Paradise Island, Bahamas
If you have been with me awhile, you know that Paradise Island, Bahamas, is one of my all time favorite places to visit. It lives up to its name and is pure paradise to me. I’ve been traveling to the island since I was eleven years old. Things have changed quite a bit over time but it still feels like vacation home.

Let’s learn about the Gold Coast in Australia with Megan from A Traveling Tribe! Megan and I went to the same college and then coincidentally (and so fortunately for me!) ended up at the same elementary school (for our children). And then, she moved on me! To Australia!!! It has been so much fun for my kids and me to FaceTime with Megan and her kids to hear firsthand all about their fun adventures and discoveries. The first time we attempted FaceTime, the kids basically just stared at each other, but…

Island Travel Interviews- Cambodian Islands, Take 1 (Koh Rong Samleom)
Before we begin this week’s Island Travel Interview series on Koh Rong Samleom), here is a bit more information about the Honeymoon Backpackers, taken from their bio: Mon and Dyl are newly wed Aussies, who quit their jobs and gave away everything they own, to travel the world on their endless honeymoon which began in May 2016. They’ve since witnessed the northern lights in Canada, surfed with dolphins in Australia, swam with whale sharks in the Philippines, bathed with elephants in Thailand, sand boarded down a volcano in Nicaragua, bungee jumped 147m in Costa Rica, conquered the world’s highest tandem skydive in America, scuba-dived with turtles in The Caribbean, snowboarded…

Where to Eat When Visiting Paradise Island
We have been to Paradise Island several times. While it seems that the majority of restaurant options are in Atlantis, we have found several alternatives. So, if you feel like venturing off the resort grounds (which isn’t far since the entire island is something like 4 miles long and half a mile wide) or are not staying at Atlantis and don’t feel like walking over, here are some options.

The Cloisters on Paradise Island, Bahamas
Island Travel is amazing… white powder-sand beaches, clear turquoise water, peach-colored sunsets, blue skies with wispy white clouds, and, of course, yummy drinks. Paradise Island has all of these things… and more. *This post may contain affiliate links, meaning that, at no cost to you, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Having a father who used to teach history, I have become accustom to travel that involves some sort of history lesson. This schooling, however, has the benefit of taking place in paradise. The French Cloisters is located in the One and Only Ocean Club’s Versailles Gardens. It overlooks Nassau Harbour. The Cloisters is what remains from a 14th century…

007 in the Bahamas
Are there any other Sean Connery fans out there? Let me tell you a story about my childhood… I was raised on James Bond. Now, I was not allowed to watch Jem or Growing Pains, but for whatever reason, 007 was a-okay. And what’s not to love about this spy series? There is mystery, intrigue, action, and beautiful scenery. I’m not sure how many James Bond movies were filmed in the Bahamas; I’ll have to ask my brother the next time we talk and get back to you on that one. However, I do know that, being the super fans that my parents are, his name came up just a…
