Shopping
on Bahamas
|
For those who shop, either out of necessity or for sport, the Bahamas’
Great Abaco will provide a shopping experience that is sure to satisfy.
There are a wide variety of shops and fine stores, with many unique
offerings.
Great Abaco Island is home to many stores selling quality perfumes,
ranging from fine, classic scents to fabulous island originals. Abaco
Treasures, found right at the Marsh Harbor stop light, is one of these
stores. In addition to an array of perfumes, Abaco Treasures also carries
fine china, crystal and a selection of gift items. John Bull sells quality
perfume and cosmetics, including products by Iman and Lancome, in addition
to Rolex watches and fine jewelry. Solomon’s Mines, a duty-free shop,
found right by the entrance to Abaco Beach Resort, carries high quality
perfumes and cosmetics, in addition to better watches, including those
by Tag Heuer and Patek Philippe and fine china.
Abaco Ceramics sells a broad range of pottery items, including their
trademark design, white clay pots with blue fish. Iggy Biggy , easy
to find, as it is housed in two bright pink cottages in Marsh Harbor
on Queens Highway, offers a variety of island flavored clothing, sandals,
jewelry and souvenir items. Island-style gifts, located in Royal harbor
Village. Offers classic straw hats and woven baskets, in addition to
household items, such as coasters and candlesticks ornamented with seashells
and beautiful bed linens in quality natural fibers.
Java in Acabo is an enjoyable shopping experience. It’s meant to be
a comfortable place, it’s meant for browsing. They even have a paperback
book exchange. Shoppers can enjoy a good cup of coffee or an iced latte
as they take their time in examining the broad array of beautiful, artistic
craftwork. There are many useful and unique items to be found in this
shop in the Royal Harbor Village. There are pieced quilts with artistically
wrought patterns in vibrant, rich colors, and several styles of pillows.
There are ceramics and hand carved goods. Some of these are for practical
use and others are more artistic in nature, but all are beautifully
crafted, a pleasure to see and a pleasure to touch. There is also a
variety of works created by local artists. The staff is knowledgeable
about the inventory and happy to provide information about the local
artists and crafters.
Johnston Studios Art Gallery is another good place to stop and browse
for those in pursuit of art, though the works displayed and sold here
are of a different nature. The gallery is a little less than an hour’s
drive away from Marsh Harbor, and features original creations in bronze,
which are the works of the Johnston’s. The gallery also carries a line
of gift items and art prints.
Shopping on Great Acabo Island is a pleasant experience, particularly
in the smaller establishments where there is the opportunity for interesting
conversations with local residents. The range of products available
throughout the island is immense, from internationally known brands
and designers at bargain prices to one-of-a-kind items produced by locals.
It’s a lovely way to spend the day.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
