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.
