[nagdu] guide dog crewsing to the Bahamas

[Ginger Kutsch]

Dear Janna,

My husband and I flew to Nassau with our dogs last April. We had no access 
issues at all. We did find that most of the island people were not used to 
seeing blind people travel independently and as a result, they were way too 
"helpful." We stayed at one of the resorts on Cable Beach and traveled by 
bus and taxi while on the island. Motorists drive on the "wrong" side of the 
road so that did take a little getting used to-- both when getting into the 
vehicles and crossing streets.

Anyway, the cruise ships dock at Prince George Wharf in the heart of 
downtown Nassau. Once you leave the pier, you will walk directly into Rawson 
Square, which is the center of town. Taxis are readily available should you 
want to take a quick trip over to Paradise Island. One thing that we did 
that I especially enjoyed was participating in a guided walking tour of the 
town.

We encountered no stray dogs in the resort areas or while in town but a few 
miles out of town near one of the beaches, we did run into a pack of about 
3-4 stray dogs who growled, barked and snarled but never came close to us. 
Other than that, we had no problems with other dogs.

Best regards,

Ginger
