    Our Best of the Caribbean

    November 9, 2014 / No Comments

    After traveling around the Caribbean for a few years, we are regularly asked about what is the best resort, best beach, best restaurant, etc.  We have a long way to go in our travels through the islands, but these places have impressed us over the years.  Enjoy this list of “our best” of the Caribbean, from the best rum punch, to the best beach, and more.   Best Music: Dune Preserve, Anguilla Bankie Banx’s Dune Preserve should be on every music lover’s bucket list. You can see Bankie himself, along with a number of other performers throughout the week, including Bankie’s son, Omari. And the view overlooking Rendezvous Bay toward…

    Under The Sea: Review of Ewa-Marine UB100 Underwater Housing

    June 7, 2014 / 2 Comments

    The crystal clear water in the Caribbean begs you to explore below the surface.  Whether you are a diver, a snorkeler, or just like to get your feet wet, there is a desire to capture the beauty of what we see below the surface.  I took diving certification class, and although I was a wiz at the classroom work, due to some ear problems, I was unable to descend below 12 feet, but that didn’t mean I was giving up the desire to explore below the surface.  On our trip to the BVI, I had a GoPro Hero2 which was a lot of fun to play with and capture video.…

    What’s in My Bag? Bahamas Edition

    May 29, 2014 / No Comments

    This edition of “What’s in My Bag?” is our post-trip report on the camera gear we used for our trip to Eleuthera and Harbour Island in the Bahamas.  I’m changing up the gear I use the more trips we take.  Let’s take a look to see what was worth the effort, and what just ended up being dead weight. I still love my Think Tank Airport AirStream roller bag, and I can’t think of a better bag for the job.  Once again, we encountered a small plane (this time from Miami to North Eleuthera), and all roller bags had to be checked.  As is my practice, I put my primary camera body…

    Spirits of the Caribbean: Sands, Bahamas

    April 7, 2014 / No Comments

    It’s National Beer Day here in the United States, the day we celebrate the Cullen-Harrison Act, signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which went into effect on April 7, 1933.  The Cullen-Harrison Act legalized the sale of 3.2% beer and wine, which had been prohibited by the 1919 Volstead Act.  Subsequently, Congress passed the Blaine Act, which enacted the 21st Amendment, repealing the 18th Amendment’s prohibition on alcohol sales on December 5, 1933. Our celebration today is with a Bahamian beer, Sands.  Sands, marketed as a “Truly Bahamian Beer,” was launched in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island on December 15, 2007.  If you happen to be on Grand Bahama…

    Taste of the Caribbean: Spicy Conch Chili, Harbour Island, Bahamas

    March 3, 2014 / No Comments

    Taste of the Caribbean takes us to Harbour Island in the Bahamas, a short 10-minute boat ride from the northern end of Eleuthera.  This island known best for the famous Pink Sand Beach on its eastern shore, is also home to some fantastic restaurants, including Sip Sip, known for cocktails and gossip, “sip sip,” but also for delicious food by chef Julie Lightbourn.  The spicy conch chili can be found on the menu every day at Sip Sip, but don’t come for dinner.  Sip Sip is open for lunch only, and is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so plan ahead.  It should not be missed.
