7 Reasons For Retiring In The Bahamas....
PROXIMITY - As The Bahamas is just a 30 minutes flight from the U. S. Mainland, its like having your cake and eating it too. No other Caribbean destination can make that claim.

CLIMATE - The Bahamas has a semi-tropical maritime climate that has to be personally experienced. Its so-called hot days are not quite as hot, thanks to the trade winds that protect the Islands.

OPTIONS - Perhaps the one attribute that is truly unique about The Bahamas is its diversity. The Bahamas is not a One-Island Nation-State like other popular Caribbean destinations. Instead, its a Nation-State of 700 Islands with some 2,000 Islets and Cays that extend over an area of around 100,000 square miles.

LANGUAGE - You cant beat living in a country where communication is the least of ones worry or concern. English is the spoken language throughout the Islands of The Bahamas.

CURRENCY - For almost thirty years now (since February 1973) the Bahamian dollar has been on par with the U.S. dollar.

STABILITY - With a long history of peaceful constitutional change, The Bahamas has enjoyed almost three hundred years as a Parliamentary Democracy.

FUN - Why retire if you cant have fun? The Bahamas is a fun place and people are still saying Its Better In The Bahamas."
