Well, since Leslie has not responded, I will: just returned 5/30 from 1 week in Eleuthera. Best time of year if you want to swim is summer. The weather is similar to Florida, winter would be lovely and sunny but too cool for swimming. The home we rented was a one bedroom cottage complete with linens and kitchen supplies...you can see it on www.vacationspot.com. It is called Calypso. A rental car is a must. The island is 100 miles long, one or two miles wide, with three airports, (be sure to fly into the right one). The roads are not bad for outside US...potholed in the little villages, fine outside. there was much damage from Hurricane Floyd, in the way of road deterioration, foliage, roofs. Activities include snorkeling, diving, etc, bonefishing, hiking, I think there's one golf course. The beaches are gorgeous, plentiful, pink & deserted! Getting to the island is easy: fly to Miami, take a one-hour flight over to Eleuthera. We found $298 air from Tampa through Travelocity. Restaurants were NOT plentiful, except in Harbour Island ( a day trip unless you stay there), most featured homemade conch items. We cooked (brought a cooler with steak & shrimp) and went to lunch alot! We loved it! <BR>Any more questions? <BR>Joan
