My Grandpa's Bahamian and lives on Spanish Wells not sure how familiar you are with the area but it is also in the Elutheras. I've been to harbour island a couple times, it's a bit to ritzy for my likes there. Although still a beautiful place to go.

freerider4, how do you find it to be ritzy?

too much american money coming in changing the place. It's not just harbour island a bunch of the out islands seem to going this way throughout the Bahamas. I just don't want to see it become another Nassau in another 20 years.

My grandpa has spent his life moving from island to island trying to escape the growing population on the out islands. Have a great time because the Bahamas never upsets, just leave it looking better then when you got there.

i went last summer and the summer before that. one time we stayed in bob marley's room at the pink sands. rachel hunter was staying in the room right next to ours. Birthday

they were doing a sports illustrated swimsuit shoot down on the beach. it was AWESOME! those models are ridic. the only thing that sucked was that after a long day of spearfishin and a really long night. you had to get up at six to see them shoot. but they were on the beach for the whole rest of the day hanging out, i'm not gonna lie i was pretty stoked on that.

i remember this one night that the generators went out for the island and everything was pitch black. our hotel was the only one with its own generator so i didnt have to sweat my balls off all day. thank god!

i have some pretty funny memories from there. i think im goin back soon

im leaving for staniel cay in the Exumas on the 25th. cant wait
