Friday Happy Hour: Compass Point Switcher – Unexplained

Compass Point Switcha, Nassau/SBPR

Part of the unique charm of the Caribbean lies in its preponderance of, err, unique charms that one can only explain as…well, unexplained. You learn quickly growing up here that many things are the way they are simply because that’s just the way they are.
Maybe it’s due to the laid back nature of life in the region. Maybe it’s the heat, or the rum. Either way, a lot of my fellow West Indians seem perfectly content to let well enough alone when it comes to a lot of things that have always been the way they are just because.
Just look at switcher, or switcha, from The Bahamas.

Saturday Video: Junkanoo, the Caribbean’s Best New Year’s Jam

Junkanoo

Without a doubt, the Caribbean is THE BEST place to ring in the New Year! Partying is in our West Indian blood, so finding a good fete just about anywhere along the island chain is no problem.
For the very best jam, though, Nassau is the place to be! New Year’s here means Junkanoo, which for anyone lucky enough to be on Bay Street after midnight tonight means an unforgettable great time.

On-Site Nassau: Uncommonly Cool Compass Point Resort

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

For anyone traveling to Nassau, the prospect of finding accommodations at the type of special hotels that cater to our special style of travel can be daunting to say the least. The place is just so synonymous with humongous, one-size-fits-all resorts (with more on the way) that it’s easy to think you might be better off somewhere else.
That thinking, however, would be wrong, as anyone who’s ever happened along Compass Point surely knows.

On-Site Nassau: My One Night Stand on Arawak Cay

The New Big 10 on Arawak Cay, Nassau/SBPR

What would you do if you only had one night to enjoy the most developed and commercial (read: touristy) of Bahamas islands? I posed that question to our Facebook fans ahead of a one-night business trip I had planned to Nassau a few weeks ago. The responses were so unanimous, so fervent in their insistence that I just had to obey. Indeed, if I was to have just one night in Nassau, there would only be one place for me: Arawak Cay.

Taste of the Caribbean: Can’t Miss Cracked Conch in The Bahamas

Cracked Conch at Compass Point, Nassau/SBPR

Earlier this year, I wrote about traveling to Grand Cayman and enjoying my first taste of turtle. Predictably, this was not one of our more popular posts. Reader responses generally ranged from outrage to disappointment. Turtles are cute and endangered; how can anyone think of eating them?
I can see where my detractors were coming from (though most ignored the conservation side of the story), but I’m wondering how these same people will feel about the subject of today’s Taste of the Caribbean: the regal, if not ravenous Queen Conch.
