Voltage:
The mains voltage in The Bahamas is 115 volts AC, the same as in the USA.

Weather:
The Bahamas are generally blessed with beautiful weather all of the year. In summer, it's usually between 80 and 90 degrees fahrenheit in the day, and around 75 at night. In the winter, it's usually between 75 and 80 in the day, and around 70 at night. Rain usually lasts just a short while, enough to keep it beautiful, but not spoil much of the day. In mid-summer, the hurricane season is in full swing, but fortunately, the paths taken by most hurricanes are not in line with our island.

Currency:
The Bahamas has its own currency, the Bahamian Dollar, which floats based upon the US Dollar. For cash purposes, the two countries' dollars are equal. All stores in The Bahamas gladly accept either US or Bahamian cash. For checking or exchange purposes, there is a nominal exchange rate of one percent.

Music stores:
Nassau has a couple of music stores, but their stock is not what you might find in New York, London or L.A. They always have some drum heads, some guitar or bass strings, or some picks, but they may not stock that one special type YOU use. It's best to plan ahead, and bring incidental supplies with you. Of course, these supplies should be listed with your equipment when shipped.

Night clubs:
There are several clubs here, with lots going on. Luna is a huge place with several bars in one club, including live entertainment in some rooms, and loud recorded music on the huge dance floor. Waterloo is always cool, The Last Quarter at Crocodiles has great live music. Several cool places exist at The Atlantis Resort. And there's lots more...
