These group of islands are just south of the Bahamas. It is about an hour and fifteen-minute flight from Ft. Lauderdale. We like to use either Jet Blue or Southwest airlines to cover the 600 mile sojourn. If you can snag a window seat, you will probably see the beautiful turquoise waters off several Bahamian Islands. A British Overseas Territory, there are…
