How About Some Caribbean Island Travel

The islands are awash with island-flavored culture with just the subtlest hint of European influence, and world-class hotels, resorts, restaurants, activities, attractions, and shopping. There are over fifty island destinations to choose for your Caribbean island travel and each has its own extensive catalogue of accommodations and activities for the Caribbeans famous exotic warm weather.


Below are our top picks for an awesome Caribbean island travel:


New Providence, the Bahamas


Most visitors erroneously call it Nassau because the island is the site of the nations capital, which was named after the Dutch Prince of Orange-Nassau in 1695 after he took over the British throne. In truth, the island is New Providence where about two-thirds of the Bahamian population lives, and where millions of dollars are invested in Nassau, Cable Beach, and Paradise Island. In recent years, New Providence has created a name for itself as one of the top places to visit when on a Caribbean island travel.

Adding Some Pleasure to your San Francisco Business Trip

by Barbara Wade

Road warriors will attest that traveling for business can offer unique challenges to even the most seasoned veterans. There are ways, however, to cope with the stress of frequent travel that can add pleasure to your business trip.

Stay Close By

One of the best ways to reduce stress during your trip is to choose accommodations close to where you’ll conduct business. Typically you would pack everything you need for the day, load it into a taxi or shuttle, then venture across town. At lunch, you would either find somewhere to temporarily house your laptop and other items while you found something to eat or travel back to your hotel and leave your belongings in your room, and then in the afternoon, a repeat of the morning’s schedule. Traveling back and forth can be stressful and expensive. — staying close to your final destination is a better choice.

In San Francisco, for example, if you’re attending a convention, you might opt to reserve lodging at a Union Square hotel near Moscone Convention Center. The convenience of being adjacent to the center and having ready access to your room can provide a reduced level of stress, while offering a savings of up to $100 a day in taxi fares.
