If you visit the Bahamas between July 3rd and July 11th, you will experience not only a wonderful holiday, but two! In the Bahamas, is July 4th is celebrated as a traditional American holiday. Then you get the added bonus of enjoying the Bahamas Independence Day July 10! That means twice the fun in one trip! July 4th is the date that the United States celebrates its independence from Britain. For a bit of American history, July 4, 1776 is the date of the Declaration of Independence was signed, and that date has become the national holiday. In the case of the Bahamas has been independent much later date. In 1964 the islands of the Bahamas with limited self-government by Britain. A Commonwealth in 1969. Then, finally, on July 10, 1973 The Bahamas became an independent nation! United States and the Bahamas share in common that both countries gained independence from Great Britain.The Bahamas is a great place to visit, hands down. You really do not even need a reason like a holiday to go there and enjoy one of the most fascinating trips ever! There are many different islands to visit, and you can choose what works for you. You could visit a small island with only one or two hotels, or choose a major that has many. I recommend the Grand Bahama Island or New Providence.I actually did this double holiday two years ago and went to both islands. The way this worked is that we flew into Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, and then took an inter-island flights to Nassau in New Providence. We lived in Freeport for the first three days, and then went to Nassau. The first two days were spent in Nassau on Paradise Island, and then we stayed in cheaper accommodation in Nassau in four days. We took the inter-island flights back to Freeport and then flew directly from Freeport back to the U.S.. The whole trip lasted nine days, and was the perfect time to see most of it on both islands.Freeport and July 4thFreeport is a good place on Grand Bahama Island. That is where most of the cruise takes you. In Freeport, you'll find plenty of local shops and restaurants, all on the waterfront in an area called the Marketplace. This is where the fireworks took place as we saw for July 4. It is a center area, with a stage area. Bands played throughout the evening July 4. All around the center area of restaurants, many of which you can sit outside and watch the band play as you eat. The fireworks will then take place at around 10 pm, and about forty-five minutes. They are almost directly overhead, over the water. It is a spectacular sight.Imagine the perfect July 4 in the Bahamas. You visit the beach in Freeport all day, basking in the Bahamas sun and get an island tan (just wear sunscreen so you do not burn. You go back to the hotel room, maybe Port Lucaya Yacht Club, and take a nice summer nap. Then showers you and get ready for the evening fun. It will probably be in the 80s, even at night, so dress for the moment, I do not think I got close to the pants all the time, walk down to the restaurant and shop area, and select one of the many Bahamas restaurants . (The food is very similar to the U.S., with seafood selections, etc. The difference lies in the spices and fruits, mangoes instead of apples.) Then you can eat outside while looking at some bands. at 10 pm, thefireworks start, and you leave the restaurant and sit at a table in the stage area. fireworks are fantastic, and romantic to add! Finally, you dance the rest of the night with culture and American music! sure there will be some familiar Independence Day songs from America, Nassau and July 10thThrough week up to the Independence Day celebration, you will find many festivities. Some of these will include concerts, festivals and parties every night. July 10, fireworks will take place at various locations, and a parade and concert. Unfortunately, a large rain storm crept at night we were where in 2004, so we could not find any fireworks! will, however, that the island is a buzz with the celebration of Independence Day! How do thereYou find easy flights to Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. If you want to fly to Freeport, is AirTran Airways is probably your first elections. They offer cheap flights daily, with a hub in Atlanta, Georgia. AirTran flies to Freeport from Baltimore, MD, for example. If you live in New York City, take U.S. Airways from LaGuardia Airport. To get to Nassau, check out the Spirit Airlines or American Airlines. If you are looking for the best price, AirTran and Spirit can get you to the Bahamas start at around $ 340 round trip including taxes and fees for an adult. Be stayOn Grand Bahama Island, I recommend staying in Freeport. This is a tourist area, and probably the safest. There may be other remote locations that may have more of the Bahamas is aware, but I would agree with the Freeport area. My best recommendation is Port Lucaya Resort & Yacht Club. The prices are great, beginning with $ 80 per night, and you are right at a marina where the boats come and go all day. There are approximately nine buildings in a semicircle, surrounded by water and each house has about 20 rooms in it for the guests. In the middle of the half circle you will find a small bar that serves some food, and a huge pool with a volleyball net in it! Port Lucaya Resort is right next to Port Lucaya Marketplace, which hosts numerous shops and restaurants. You can shop duty free, across the street, you will find great beaches! On New Providence Island, the best place to live with any questions TechniSat hillbilly Resort on Paradise Island. A bridge provides easy access to Paradise Island from Nassau. Atlantis Resort is incredible, and offers an entire vacation in itself. There are many choices of accommodation, from single rooms to deluxe suites. there are many upscale restaurants located at the Atlantis. For gambling person, you will find a casino! The best part of the Atlantis resort in itself. You'll find water slides that take you through the center of the sharks, protected only by glass, artificial beaches and lagoons, a lazy river ride on inner tubes and picturesque landscapes that delight the eye as far as you can see. The beach is a stone's throw of white sand and blue waters.For cost-conscious travelers can stay at the Comfort Suites Hotel on Paradise Island, that allows you access to Atlantis Resort, but costs much less: If you are really limited budget, you can stay at the Holiday InninNassau, which starts at around $ 60 a night and sometimes offering a fourth night free with a three-night booking, we lived a night at the Comfort Suites to see Atlantis for two days, and then stayed at the Holiday Inn for the rest of our time in New Providence.What to doThere is no end to what you can experience in the Bahamas for the Independence Day celebrations. Junkanoo festival lasts for throughout July, in which Bahamian celebrate with parades, festivals and concerts. Check Bahamian dressed similar to Mardi Gras-style in native costumes. It's very exciting to watch. Freeport, parades go right down the road next to the Port Lucaya Resort. In Nassau, there are the different sites for the celebration. You will find festivals and parades in many major highways and tourist areas. Apart from July 4 celebrations, there are many other exciting things to do. on Grand Bahama Island, take a trip to Eight Mile Rock, where you find a rocky beach and a little stand set up for drinks and dinner and sell souvenirs. In Nassau, take a trip back to the airport and find some of the spectacular house that was built in the area.

Cool Tips new restrictions came into force in which all travelers to the Caribbean from the United States must have a passport. Before, all you had your license, birth certificate, and roundtrip air tickets and itinerary. But there are two ways to help with this restriction.
