During a three-night press trip to Nassau on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas in late February 2011 for the opening of the new U.S. Departures Terminal at Lynden Pindling International Airport, I took quite a few photographs of the beaches and ocean from various places our group visited, as well as our visit to a lovely restaurant called the Poop Deck on the coast not far from the airport. We stayed at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort. During our visit we were also lucky enough to be taken on a luncheon cruise on a beautiful, 81-foot motor yacht called the M/Y Equinox. These are some of the photographs I took during my visit. There are thousands more photographs and thousands of articles on air travel and destinations throughout the world on my travel news site at www.AirlinesAndDestinations.com – including five articles from that Nassau trip, all profusely illustrated with photographs and videos.
I was on the island of Abacos Nov. of 2011. At the little airport some local people brought lunch to their family members. This Mother had brought lunch to her Father and Mother whom worked at the airport. This picture shows how beautiful and hardworking the Bahamian people are!

This is Peter Nygard's house in the Bahamas. We had a nice view of it from where Stuart Cove's took us to snorkel. I'll be geotagging this so you can see where it is.

For a taste of Europe with a Caribbean flavor; look no further than Nassau. The primary city on New Providence Island in the Bahamas, Nassau offers everything from British-influenced cricket games and bewigged judges to Riviera-style casinos.
Situated less than 75 miles from the coast of Florida, the Bahamas lure visitors with their lush landscapes and clear calm waters. More than 700 islands, covering some 100,000 square miles, make up this popular archipelago, although only 20 or so are inhabited.
Most of the island's 2.5 million residents live on New Providence Island, centered around bustling Nassau, with its colorful waterfront area and open-air markets. And for a quick getaway, two popular resort areas -Cable Beach and Paradise Island -lie nearby.
