Close your eyes and think “Bahamas.” Imagine the tropical sun as it beats on your bare skin. Go to the Bahamas. Have your dreams crushed like a soft melon under a big hammer. It isn’t always sunny in the Bahamas,despitewhattheold men in gas stations tell you about the weather in “The Islands." It isn’t cool staying in a $200 dollar-a-night resort when you sneak through the lobby with three bags of groceries from Winn Dixie. And it isn’t fun gambling. You might get free drinks, but by the time you’ve finished your second Jack and Coke, you’ve lost $60 and the urge to win the “Big Bucks.” You can’t walk around in the Bahamas. Not only do they drive on the wrong side of the road, they drive worse than a high school kid after a six pack of beer. You can’t drink the water in the Bahamas, or you’ll spend the week soaking up the rays of the fluores cent light above the toilet. And, worst of all, you can’t get off cheap in the Bahamas. A sam pling: two Long Island Iced Teas and a Sloe Comfortable Screw, $19; pack of Oreos and gallon of milk, 59.16; can of beer, 53 95. But don’t worry, when you get back you won’t have to tell anyone what a hell your vacation in the tropical paradise was. You will, however, have to answer to Visa—at least some day. , 399 Sun Valley Blvd. Q. ©.
