Andros Island. Andros Island, at 2300 square miles in size, is perhaps the largest tract of unexplored land in the Western hemisphere, and also the largest island in the Bahamas. A coral limestone formation, it is dominated by thick impenetrable bush, sliced in pieces by inland waterways, and edged by mangrove marsh.
Another good time to plan your New Orleans vacation is around the Louisiana festivals at Halloween in late fall, or between Christmas and New Yearâs when some of the other Louisiana festivals take place like the Christmas river celebration and a New Orleans New Yearâs Eve party.
Winter marks a sweet spot in New Orleans tourism. The city has had time to cool off (with average high temperatures resting in the 60s), and the springtime festivals haven't started yet. This is also a good time to save, since the winter attracts fewer tourists, meaning more bargain hotel rates.
