Alternative Travel to the Bahamas

You can always fly to the Caribbean, but have you considered going by boat? No, we don't mean a cruise - we mean a ferry! If you live in Florida, or just feel like traveling to the islands in a fun and creative way, consider the Bahamas day ferry our of Fort Lauderdale. You can actually go for the day, but with a one way trip of about 5 hours, why not stay the weekend? You can certainly find a good all inclusive resort package, or just find a little bed and breakfast or local inn. Either way, start and end your vacation in a relaxing way, rather than with all those security check points and lines.
