The Bahamas is a tourist’s most exotic dream come to life.

—Capt. L. Roscoe Dames II, JP, Publisher

Welcome To Our Family Islands … Welcome Home!

NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly famously called The Bahamas “the most beautiful place from space”. The Bahamas is a tourist’s most exotic dream come to life. Beautiful white and pink sand beaches enveloped by incredibly transparent waters in multiple shades of blue from deep blue to turquoise, 100,000 square miles of 700 islands and cays—that’s barely scraping the surface of what The Bahamas has to offer!

In this issue of Up and Away, you’ll get to know some of our team members a bit more intimately with their stories about unforgettable experiences to the Family Islands of Abaco, Berry Islands, Bimini, Exuma and Eleuthera. Explore our Family Islands, feel the diversity and variety of culinary twists, bite into juicy Bahamian fruits and let the sweet juices flow. Sail onto the clear blue Bahamian seas into the national sport of The Bahamas. Get to know some of our amazing Bahamian visual artists, filmmakers, and photographers. Stretch out, relieve tension, and focus on your wellness with ‘Bahayogi’. Come join us down by the Fish Fry in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Go down south to Cuba and meet The Bordón Family of artists.

Then, jump up north to the land of the free and the home of the brave—the United States of America—but we’ll stay in the Florida area. First, we’ll take you from Miami and journey to Palm Beach stopping along the way to enjoy the street-art scene. From there, we travel back to Fort Lauderdale where we’ll show you why it’s the Yachting Capital of the World and explore the waterways. Our final stop will be greeted with a warm welcome in Orlando where you’ll find neighbourhoods that are weaved with a colourful tapestry of culture and history.

But the best part of all these destinations we share with you in this Family Islands issue is that you can travel to all of them on the very airline you are flying. As you read this magazine, consider this issue as your personal guide.

Buckle up, sit back and enjoy the ride! Think of the crisp pages of this magazine as a free Bahamian souvenir. Take it with you. That way, you’ll have a piece of The Bahamas with you everywhere you go, no matter where you travel to next!
