    Me and my wife went to the Bahamas in February . We did half at an Airbnb and the end at Atlantis. It’s ruff trying to get around without a rental car, and the jits were inconsistent. The people were dope they definitely looked out for us. If i go back I’d probably do Atlantis for the whole time to avoid the stress of getting around the island. Great vid Chews we appreciate the content

    • @ChewsToExplore

      The bus drivers wont wait too long for you to lug luggage. Buses are privately owned which is why it's inconsistent. In essence, each driver is hustling to get as many passengers within their day to meet their personal quota. When you think catching a jitney, think hop on hop off bus...or traveling jet blue with no carryon bag just a personal item bag.
