Did you know that if you fly or drive to Fort Lauderdale (I drove since I was in Tampa for three weeks), you can catch a 3-hour ferry and end up in a different country for the day?

Yes, for a day!

I had NO idea you could go to the Grand Bahamas for a day until a coworker told me about this. If I must go to Florida for three weeks, I might as well explore a new country for a day, right?

Full disclosure: I am not the biggest Florida fan, but I will say I enjoyed this little adventure during my limited time in Fort Lauderdale.

But enough about that! Let’s go to the Bahamas and swim with pigs, shall we?
