It's better in the Bahamas...especially at those prices

Television news anchors are an interesting bunch; when rain is in the forecast, they'll remind the weather forecaster that the rain is much needed. As soon as any measurable amount of rain is detected, those same folks will ask the same weather forecaster to let them know when there will be a "break in the wet weather."

Though not exactly the same, we can find certain parallels in the travel industry. Understandably, many people are approaching travel cautiously this year, stating the economy has them concerned. Show them a great deal, though, and the credit card miraculously appears.

We (Mr. Makarma) think that's a good thing; people do need to be careful with their spending, but they also need to travel. Match them with a good value, and they're on their way.

There are a number of great values today, many better than what we've seen in a long time. There are some unbelievable deals on cruises right now; the values are also there with certain land vacations. As our title hints at, there's an amazing deal right now in the Bahamas.

If you've spent any time following the world's top resorts, you've no doubt learned of the Atlantis Resort in Nassau. One thing you've probably heard about the place is that it's incredible; another thing you've possibly heard is that it's very expensive. Many people choose less-expensive lodging elsewhere, and settle for a simple visit to Atlantis. That may no longer be necessary, as a promotional rate that's currently available for the resort's Beach Tower is, in many cases, pricing out for less than some traditionally cheaper places in the area.

How to get these deals? Contact your favorite travel professional (hopefully, that's us) and start packing.
