Rebecca Batisto Shows Why it’s Better in The Bahamas for Babies

Photo credit: Rebecca Batisto

We’ve been lacking a lady’s touch lately, so I asked my friend and former Bahamas resident, Rebecca Batisto, to share some family travel tips with us stemming from a recent jaunt to her island home with her handsome baby boy (see photo). This is Rebecca’s first guest post for Uncommon Caribbean, so make her feel welcome…
Babies eat sand. FACT!
I recently spent the first three days of a trip back home to Great Exuma in The Bahamas telling my nine month old to stop, but eventually gave up. For two “solid” weeks he ate sand and I gave thanks for the fact that Bahamian sand is powder-soft and clean, unlike the cigarette-laden shores of Fort Lauderdale, where I live now.

Deal of the Week: Live the Dream at Highclere House, Great Exuma

Highclere House

Just imagine… A cool breeze gently wakes you, the sun already high in the sky. You stretch, ease your way onto your veranda, and as the morning comes into focus you see this! Pure paradise. Sun-kissed, crisp and utterly intoxicating.
Now imagine that it’s all yours. That’s right, you live here!
Well, you could live here now that my friends, Don and Gail Amesbury, are selling Highclere House, their marvelous oceanfront hideaway in Great Exuma.
I first met Don and Gail when I moved into the house right next to one they formerly owned here in Fort Lauderdale. As we share a love of travel, hanging out and enjoying the odd cocktail or two (not necessarily in that order), we soon became fast friends.
