The History of Costa Rica
In 1502, when Christopher Columbus landed in Puerto Limon, less than 20 indigenous tribes occupied the lands in what is now, Costa Rica. The golden bands that the region's Carib Indians wore as earrings and nose rings inspired the Columbus and his crew to name the country, "Costa Rica", meaning, "Rich Coast". Columbus's arrival ultimately led to the eradication of these native populations as exotic diseases and fatal battles took their toll.

It's Better in The Bahamas
It’s Better in The Bahamas Imagine this, white picturesque sandy beaches, seven hundred stunning subtropical islands, fathomless ocean trenches and an ever-present golden sun. This ideal Caribbean beauty is in the North-western West Indies just below the coast of Florida. The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is home to not only 380,000 locals but the birthplace of fun in the sun, sand, and sea. As a tourist, you peer out the window and see the varying hues of blue in the Atlantic Ocean. The plane descends, and you feel the soft embrace of the sun's warm rays. As a first-time tourist, you do not know what to expect. Covering the newly built area of the airport are images of turtles, dolphins, and seashells. They are all glimpses of the tropical way of life before you have truly seen the island beyond four walls. A traditionally clothed policeman statue points you in the direction you need to go. The infectious beat of a goat-skinned drum rattles your bones the further you go.
