Family Vacation in the Bahamas
Make it a family affair in the Bahamas, a great meeting point to relax and relive old memories with your family and friends. If you’re an active group, think about doing some island hopping and checking out some different islands out of the 700 that the Bahamas have to offer. Resorts are also a great option if you want to relax and soak up the sun with all the amenities included.
The kids will love the water activities including snorkeling in the clearest blue water in the world, swimming with the dolphins, and going kayaking to nearby islands. Real Travel users recommend these islands:
Nassau/Paradise Island- the capital city is home to many exotic birds, a rich culture, and a wide array of activities for tourists
Freeport-relax on the empty beaches and check out the mangrove forest
Exuma Islands-snorkel down to check out one of the largest underwater cave systems in the world
If you prefer to integrate more with the Bahamian culture, some of the outer islands are small villages inhabited by natives where you can try conche—the Bahamas’ famous food staple of ocean mollusk—shop at local markets, and meet some of the friendly residents inhibiting these Bahamian gems.
The Bahamas are a great place to meet up, relax, and enjoy the vacation that you and your loved ones all deserve.

Visiting Banff National Park in Winter
This week, we’ll check out some of the great meeting point destinations for you and your loved ones over the Winter Holidays.
Banff National Park in western Canada is the perfect spot to surround yourself with friends, family and an amazing snowy scenery. The tranquility of the mountainous outdoors will allow you to get in some great quality time with those you are closest with.
Banff is beautiful year-round, but the wintertime offers especially memorable sights and activities including amazing frozen waterfalls, ice fishing, skiing and horse-drawn sleigh rides. At the end of the day, sit by the fire at one of Banff’s many hotels or hostels, and catch up with old friends.
Real Travel blogger Jenn Jenn writes:
“Arrived in Banff after a 13 hour bus ride through the snow covered mountains, to discover the true meaning of cold - minus 15 degrees! However, we don’t care, we have warm clothes and this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The snow is deep, white and just keeps on falling! This is what Canada is all about, to my mind anyway.”
The snow begins to fall in November and can be enjoyed up until March. While the average temperature in winter is six degrees Fahrenheit (-12C), temperatures can drop to as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30C) in December and January. A logical suggestion—pack warmly.
Frequently called “the most beautiful place in the world”, visit Banff National Park and share in this truly Walden experience with those who you enjoy most.
