Re: Tips for flying with cooler of food to Haborside? (by Desi P.):
My husband and I always rent a car in the Bahamas. It is a lot of fun (if you can drive on the opposite side of the road). This allows us to eat for very cheap at the "Fish Fry" ( the local joint where people are very friendly and respect the tourists) which is less than 10 min car ride form the Atlantis. Good portion meals for $10 a person. We buy the alcohol from a warehouse located near by the airport on the way to the Atlantis. It is called Bristol. We got married at the Atlantis almost 3 years ago, and yes thing are a bit pricy, but the quality and experience of world famous chefs is well worth it! Don’t forget it is an island and they have to bring everything from the mainland. We do pack a very small cooler to bring drinks to the beach with us. We pack that in the big suitcases. Going on vacation and bringing 90 % of the food is just too much. In that case we would stay home and save ourselves the hassle of travelling. Either way just Relax and Have Fun! Remember life is one long weekend....in the Bahamas!
