Depends on your priorities. Nassau town has more bars, cruise ship tourists,
nightlife and twitchy stuff.

The "other side" is quieter.

I spent a few nights in Freeport, Paradise Island, Bahamas. Town itself
wasn't real exciting; diving was reasonable, but not spectacular.

Uhhhhhh - Freeport is on Grand Bahama Island. (Where Lucaya is located.)

Paradise Island is on New Providence Island. (Where Nassau is the largest
town.)

At least that's were they were when I last dived them.

Ummm., Paradise Island is on . . . well, it's on Paradise Island. It's over
the bridge from New Providence. Yes, I know you knew that.

I stand corrected - and from you could I stand it

Actually, the story I have been told by the locals is that it was originally
called Hogs' Island, since it was mostly used by swineherds. In the list of
the named Bahamas Islands (again, according to the locals) it is assumed
under NPI and is not counted as one of the 10,000 or whatever the number is
of the Bahamas Islands. I guess I could have covered it by saying it is at,
rather than on, NPI.

I have also been assured by them that there are still quite a number of
islands in the chain for sale. They may not have water or electricity on
them, but can be purchased as a private domain.

I always thought that when I got old and rich I might buy one.

So far, I've only made half my goal. The wrong half.

My best to Jayna.

Hmmm, perhaps we could put our resources together and buy something suitable
for sharing. Combined, we're still not rich, but we're really, really old.

There are alot of cheap affordable motels and hotels that tourists commonly stay at, close to downtown where all the action is and very reasonable in price, not sure about the quality of the rooms. If your talking bout lavish their is the Atlantis resort located over paradise island and the wyndym located out cable beach.
