You may not like my advice.
Don’t go with 1 year old and 3 year old. Go when they are older close to 10. They won’t enjoy at this age and if any of your child gets sick ( since there immunity is not completely developed) then you won’t enjoy the trip.

Good advice here

We had been to Bahamas in November and stayed at the Marriott on Junakanoo Beach. Atlantis is pretty expensive and not worth it. I wouldn’t drive a car there (right hand drive). Besides beach activity and some restaurants there are limited options for 1 year and 3 year old. Also, the food is outrageously expensive. My vote for good restaurants: Ichiban, Luciano’s, Taj Mahal and there’s another Greek restaurant in downtown. Fish Fry is another popular area but with little kids, it may not be comfortable. The taxi’s there are a complete rip off. Good thing is that they accept US dollars. We took the bus at times; it was good and reasonable. In my opinion, you will get the most bang for your buck at places like Key Largo or Key West. The only reason some people travel out there is to experience a thrill of traveling to another country. Overall, I was not impressed with what Bahamas has to offer.

You don’t need a visa in advance. They now give it to you on arrival. We stayed at the Atlantis and it was fun, but rent a car and venture out if possible. Especially the Fish Fry area, best food ever!

He said he completely disagreed. I am concerned that my favorite part of the job is off the table. I LOVE negotiating and haggling. Any advice?

Any suggestions on milestones or performance measures? KPIs? Want to make sure admins get a slice of the pie they helped make.
