Taking a Vacation in Eleuthera, Bahamas

November 16th, 2009

Arn

Eleuthera, an out-island of The Bahamas, is not for everyone. If you like nightlife, casinos and lots of stuff to do, then Eleuthera isn’t for you.
But, if all you’d like to do is relax, enjoy secluded beaches, frolic in the ocean and collect sea shells, then Eleuthera is the perfect place.

Accommodations

Finding accommodations on the island of Eleuthera can be an adventure on its own.
Accommodations vary from modern, but small, hotels and quaint inns to renting a privately owned home or cottages.
Prices also run from several hundreds of dollars per night to less than one hundred dollars a night.
There are selections available to fit almost every budget.

Car Rental

Although sparsely populated, Eleuthera is a very long, but narrow island. The island is long – over 100 miles – and narrow – only 2 miles wide at its widest point.
So, having a car becomes very important if you want to explore the island.
Renting a car on Eleuthera will be a different experience than most people are used to. There are no national card rental agencies. You’ll rent directly from a Bahamian business person. You’ll likely rent a vehicle at whichever airport you arrive at. If not, any hot you stay at will be able to arrange a rental for you.
Usually a formal agreement isn’t required by the person renting you the vehicle. The business person that rents you a vehicle may ask for some basic information, such as you’re name and where you’ll be staying. But, often as not, they’ll hand yo the keys, give you their name and possible their card and ask you when you plan to return the card. Yes, it truly can be that simple.
Make sure to agree on the cost of the rental. Rental rates vary – from about to per day – and are based on how long you plan to keep the vehicle. The more days that you’ll need the car, the better rate you should be able to negotiate. If you only want the car for a day or two, you’ll pay a higher rate.
Be certain to set aside sufficient cash to pay for your rental. Credit cards will not often be accepted.

Getting To Eleuthera

By plane From the U.S.A.
If you’re arriving in Eleuthera by air, remember that there are three airports and that Eleuthera is 110 miles long.
Eleuthera actually has three international airports – North Eleuthera (ELH), Governor’s Harbour (GHB) and Rock Sound (RSD). Be sure to pick the airport that’s closest to where you’re staying.
Currently there are four airlines servicing Eleuthera directly from the US. Some airlines fly from Fort Lauderdale and some fly from Miami.

Twin Air
Lynx Air
Continental
American Eagle

By plane from Nassau, Bahamas

You can choose to arrive in Nassau (NAS) and pick up a local airline to continue on to Eleuthera.

BahamasAir
Southern Air

By Fast Ferry from Nassau, Bahamas
If you’re coming to Eleuthera from Nassau, you have the option of using the fast ferry – The Bo Hengy. It departs from Potter’s Cay each morning with stops at Spanish Wells and Harbour Island.
You can get a water tax from either Spanish Wells or Harbour Island to mainland Eleuthera. You’ll be able to get a tax or rent at car at either dock.

Restaurants

Restaurants on Eleuthera range from small take-aways to world-class cuisine.
Be sure to try a Bahamian-owned restaurant to experience authentic local cuisine like peas and rice, conch salad or conch chowder.

The Beaches

Eleuthera has an abundance of incredible beaches, the most well known is probably Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island.
But, if you’re looking for a secluded beach there are several of them on Eleuthera. Unfortunately, a lot of them are difficult to find. A guide to finding the beaches – The Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera – can be invaluable in help you to find fabulous beaches that you’ll often have all to yourselves.

No, Eleuthera isn’t for everyone, but it can make for a memorable vacation experience.

NY Limousines Are the Best Option

August 26th, 2009

Arn

Let’s look at the first option, which is waving down or calling a taxi. If you have ever been to New York before, you will understand that trying to get a taxi in New York City is like trying to run a marathon without conditioning. When you try to flag down a taxi, you have to be aggressive, know how to do it and also have the cash to spend on it. In a lot of cases when you get off a plane, you might not have enough room in the taxi. This is especially true for those who have more than one person traveling with them. When you are considering the taxi option, you need to make sure you consider the storage area your luggage will take up. For most people, this is not a viable option.

Next, you can rent a car. In this case, you will have to stand in a long line, and when you finally get to the representative, you will have to sign a lot of paperwork. If that isn’t enough, you will sometimes also have to put down a deposit on top of paying for the gas and miles. The main reason why renting a car might not be the best option is the fact that in New York most of the time, you really don’t need a car. Most things including entertainment will be within walking distance of where you are staying. If not, the subway is often a faster mode of transportation, as New York City traffic is very congested. There is no such thing as a quick 15 minute ride in the city!

You can also rent a car service or a NY limousine as opposed to what’s been mentioned above. You will find that although car services are a better option than renting a car and a taxi, they might not offer much space. They also don’t come with many amenities or extras. For one person traveling, it would be sufficient if need be.

NY limousines seem to be the most popular choice in today’s work and personal environments. They are actually very affordable and not much different in price than hiring a car service. In fact, you get a lot more out of NY limousines than NY car services in general. It is important to always compare prices between NY limousines and the services they offer to get the best deal among them. Limousine services are not all created equal.

For the most part, you need to make sure you get the NY limousine or the car service that is best for you. For some, a taxi or car rental might be the way to go. However, for most, NY limousines or car services will be the best option.
