It is located in the Atlantic Ocean, east of Florida and the United States, north of Cuba and the Caribbean, and northwest of the British overseas territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands.<br /><br />Arawak Indians inhabited the islands when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas have prospered through tourism and international banking and investment management.<br /><br />Blessed with the perfect location—less than 100 miles off the coast of Florida; the perfect climate—averaging a little over 75 degrees; and the perfect environment—crystal clear turquoise blue waters and pearly white sandy beaches, the Islands of the Bahamas is the perfect travel destination for your wedding, siesta, party, honeymoon, or family vacation.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9222354727847176615-4817677488452642025?l=bahamasislandadventures.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bahama Wave Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02016208671738974092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222354727847176615.post-74311572235832079242007-07-21T12:12:00.000-07:002009-02-08T10:44:28.187-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJmjDj7_aaE/Rqj7fvI6A5I/AAAAAAAAARQ/sBxRIfEQwio/s1600-h/BIA-Host2b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wJmjDj7_aaE/Rqj7fvI6A5I/AAAAAAAAARQ/sBxRIfEQwio/s400/BIA-Host2b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091595901390685074" border="0" /></a><br />Get ready to enjoy a true Bahamian travel experience in the <a href="http://www.bahamas.com/bahamas/index.aspx"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Islands of The Bahamas</span></a> with your personal host, vacation planner and co-ordinator Derek Catalano.<br /><br />Derek is a native Bahamian born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas.
