Bonding in the Bahamas
Put a gaggle of gals together, and it automatically becomes a Lifetime Network special. Send a bunch of guys off on their own, and you get Animal House. Just clichs, right? We sent two groups to the Bahamas to find out. A Bahama Pajama Party
As soon as Margo stepped through the Grapevine's white-picket fence, I knew I'd picked a winner. The antique clapboard cottage, a charmer in teal and white, practically reached out and gave her a hug.
"It's perfect, just perfect," she said, walking into the cozy living room where islandy artwork and tropical furnishings stood out against freshly painted white floors and walls. "The colors," she said, touching the tropical-blue sofa patterned with bits of staghorn coral. "The view," she sighed as she stopped at the front door, looking out over the blue-green waters of Harbour Island.

Short-Term Paradise
For the definitive family reunion or romantic escape, consider renting an island. Rentals start at about $4,000 per week for two. About 30 island rentals are located within a day's flying time of major U.S. cities. For 15 years, Mike and Robin Bommer of Avon, Ohio, have rented a series of private islands in Lake Erie, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas with another couple. (Both couples leave the kids at home.) This spring, they stayed for two weeks on Channel Cay, a 25-acre private island in the Abaco islands, Bahamas, in a three-bedroom, three-bath house. Channel Cay is about a half-hour boat ride from Marsh Harbour, the nearest major town. On that trip, Mike and Robin particularly enjoyed scuba diving in the turquoise-blue water. "Our island trips are the one thing we most look forward to every year," says Mike.
Anna Nicole's Bahamian home claimed by MB man
A dispute between a Myrtle Beach developer and Anna Nicole Smith over ownership of her waterfront residence in the Bahamas has sparked an investigation that authorities said Thursday could lead to the revocation of the reality TV star's permanent residency in the Bahamas.The probe centers on the $1 million mansion that lawyers for Smith claimed, in an application for residency in the island chain, that she had purchased, immigration director Vernon Burrows told The Associated Press.
G. Ben Thompson, who developed the Queens Harbour subdivision in the Myrtle Beach area, says he, not Smith, owns the home where the 38-year-old celebrity moved while pregnant with her daughter. Thompson did not return repeated messages from The Sun News this week.
Smith's daughter was born in the Bahamas on Sept.
