Bahamas
Less than an hour by air from Miami or Orlando, lie the sun-drenched Bahamas, some 700 scattered islands ranging from a sand-bar or coral reef to the celebrated North Providence Island. Once the preserve of the rich and famous, the crystal clear waters and palm fringed beaches are an open invitation to watersports enthusiasts; and golfers and tennis players are well served too. Nightlife choices are simply fabulous; cabarets and stage spectaculars to match Las Vegas, vibrant nightclubs, discos and piano bars and two elegant elegant casinos satisfy every gambling instinct. With up to 40% savings in Duty Free shops, no wonder the Bahamas are a popular two centre choice with Florida.

Cayman Islands
Just under 500 miles south of Miami lies the island of Grand Cayman, largest of the three comprising this British Crown Colony. A magnet for all watersports enthusiasts, it is undoubtedly a mecca for diving and snorkelling experts. For the less energetic there are excursions by glass bottom boat or mini-submarine; and sun-worshippers can stretch out on the dazzling white sands of Seven Mile Beach. At nightfall, browse in the duty free shops of the quaint old capital of George Town before sipping an exotic cocktail in one of the many bars and restaurants. With an average year round temperature of 24 degrees Centigrade, two direct flights per week for Gatwick and daily connections via Miami, here are opportunities too good to miss.
