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 (no, not that kind of poop!) 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.
