....Maybe the reason I liked The Bahamas better than any of the other Carribbean islands I have been to.........it reminded me of Florida and was full of Americans!!!!

You're not wrong, we were one of only four British couples there. Pretty much everyone else was American, although it was quiet season. We made some great friends who we are still in contact with today. Everything about our trip was fantastic from the hotel and staff to the other patrons. Those Bajan's sure know how to live! It was the perfect relaxing week after a mad week, rushing about Orlando.

There are a few British things around in Nassua, well there was in 92.
Lots of "potheads" to! (I was only 22 might look at it differently now).

Went to bahamas (7 day cruise from Miami). Also visited Dominican republic and St Thomas. Our first cruise and it was fantastic. Liked the bahamas, managed to get on Atlantis private beach. Really liked St Thomas would definetly go back there.

We went on a cruise in March. Some of the Islands were fantastic & some were really grim. We thought St Kitts was awful & Grenada we were mithered to death with locals trying to sell you everything & anything. Really fancied Sandals at St Lucia but as Liz points out there are just as nice places in Florida & we could stay at our own villa

We are going to Bahamas with Discovery Cruises for 7 nights. Not sure what to expect but it is very cheap. For four of us (two children aged 9 and 6) it is costing just under £500 for the cruise there and back and 7 nights accommodation at the Flamingo Bay Hotel. The cruise looks great, children's entertainers, swimming pool, casino and loads to eat all included. Only 25 days to go, can't wait!
We were thinking of the Bahamas for a few days in May......or maybe Mexico......
we did the trip about 15 years ago Time flies[msnscared] and loved it. Bus took us to Fort L. caught the ship 4 hour cruise with breakfast on board, then a cab picked us up (classic american car) and took us to a 5 star hotel.
The setting was beautiful, quiet bay with rays and dolphin to see, and there was a little square with a few bars and the atmosphere was fantastic. Tropical heat, everybody partying.
I'd highly reccomend it and would go again. We were staying at Miami Beach, and payed a bout £80 for the trip. I was happy with the price,but after booking it I saw a cheaper offer in a travel agents window while out shopping so it may be worth doing a search,you may get an extra night for the same price

chrissy - go mexico
i went out with karen in november for a week without the kids. my post ny maraton break(tee hee),her 40th and our wedding annivesary. apart from a travel agent/hotel glitch which saw our room cancelled? it was absolutely aaawesome. we stayed at the moon palace in cancun really fantastic 5* all inclusive. dur to the room mix up we also had 2 days at the adult only(no not like that) spa aventura. both have numerous restaurants and bars etc they both have to be seen to be believed. the mexicans staff and people were all so genuinely warm and friendly. would definitely go back - made you feel like a god. nothing too much trouble. we booked up independently from uk and smashed the big tour operators prices. also went to a eco/historic kind of discovery cove called xcarat which was excellent.
as i type i can smell the food from the brazillian restaurant large chunks of steak chicken and veal cooked and served from a sword -amazing
i could go on........
