BAHAMAS

I don't think its about being spoiled. I think we Americans tend to be very generous. In alot of countries, no quarter is given to the poor. We Americans tend to pull for the underdog. I like to see a waiter or waitress trying to make it especially when they win over your heart. A tip from me sometimes is a way of saying, "I'm doing all right, I make a good living, I am happy and grateful with what I got, and I want this low paid waiter or waitress for instance, to have a good tip to try and help them along and maybe they too can have some goodies and neccessities of life. May sound stupid to foreigners, but this is generousity we Americans tend to grow up with, I see nowhere else in this world. Alot of people take advantage of this and think we are rich and spoiled. Believe me, I've flipped the bird deep down inside many a time when I felt undermining forces at work.

You do NOT tip in Tahiti! Now, here in the States, there is a tip jar every where, we don't bother with it.
We agree, us Americans have really spoiled things with all these tip$! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Like BRUTHAH. Thanks alot for that tip. Sounds like a real good deal. SNORKEL with the sharks? Shhheeeee......it! I see the wife is automatically not going to do it. Looks like I'm on my own. Am I nuts or what? Talk to me. Hey, That was an excellent tip. Man, I really wanna check this out!!! Snorkel with the sharks while they chow down on some bait. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Loads of fun! The scare is healing nicely in spite of how many stitches there were.

We've been going to O'Fest for the last 9 years, and every year we always ask about the tip policy. Our MUC DL friends always tell us, just leave a few coins and that's it!!
We get the same answers in CZM, EZE, BOG, MAD. PPG and APW......

I have had excellent experience booking condos directly with owners through www.vrbo.com

We have a condo in Freeport/Lucaya Grand Bahama right on a beautiful beach for $85-120 US per night.
No taxes, resort fees, gratuity, etc. There is a housekeeping fee one-time of $60.

Read guest book for comments.

Best wishes for a great vacation!

Thanks for that tip, but I wasn't interested in Grand Bahama area. I clicked on to the rest of the islands and I noticed those prices jump. It's expensive as hell in the Bahamas isn't it?

I just got your message. Yes, I agree they are pretty pricey. I've found Grand Bahama to be the most reasonable.
