Maui is an incredible draw, and always has been. But the throngs of visitors have hardly dampened its appeal. In fact, the word from the islands is that Maui is “no ka oi!” (the best). Island residents and visitors alike will tell you that Maui has some of Hawaii’s best beaches, best resorts, best golf courses, and best weather, with an average of 320 days of sunshine a year.
The Bahamas consists of approximately 700 islands and 2,000 islets, called cays (keys), which collectively make up the archipelago. Of these, only about 30 are inhabited. Some are little more than boulders that appear and disappear with the rise and fall of the ocean. Some are long and thin and stretch for many miles. Still others are home to thousands of busy people. The vast majority of the islands, however, are deserted, with pristine beaches and tropical forests that are untouched by humans.
