US Airways - February 2014 - (Page 47)

I love the jostled intimacy of puddle-jumpers that take you to those blissful island destinations. Particularly when I'm en route to my favorite slice of heaven - Eleuthera. PHOTOS COURTESY OF VAIL RESORTS One of the so-called Out Islands of the Bahamas, the sickle-shaped isle is 60 miles from Nassau, only 110 miles long, and in some places little more than a mile wide. Among its many pleasures: pristine beaches, spectacular barrier reefs, super-friendly locals and an easy-going pace. My husband and I visit every year. For us, it's the perfect antidote to a life lived frenetically, a quiet place to breathe deeply and reconnect. We joke that a week in Eleuthera is worth years of therapy (and is way more fun). Eleuthera means "freedom" in Greek, and it's exactly that: freedom from stress, crowds, and consumerism. Seekers of casinos and celebrity-chef restaurants might want to skip Eleuthera. The island is so noncommercial that its only trafﬁc light was wrecked by Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and has yet to be repaired. But a laid-back scene doesn't mean the sacriﬁce of comfort or conveniences. » usairwaysmag.com FEBRUARY 2014 47 http://www.usairwaysmag.com
