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.
Despite the devastation of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Hurricane Rita in Lake Charles, tourism in Louisiana is at an all time high. Tourism in Louisiana also gears up during the spring when some of the best Louisiana festivals occur at this time, including the famous Mardi Gras in New Orleans. A New Orleans vacation can be arranged in conjunction with Mardi Gras or another of the Louisiana festivals.
