PERFECT CLIMATE
British naval leader Horatio Nelson was
sent to Antigua in 1784 to enforce the
Navigation Act. Because of Antigua’s
steady winds, wall of coral reef, and
coastline featuring safe harbors, the location was ideal for hiding a fleet. Today,
those winds are great for sailing, the coral reef perfect for diving, and the coastline beckons to beachgoers all over the
world. Another bonus for the island is
fertile soil, which yields sugar, pineapple, sweet potatoes, maize, and yams.

Additionally, French and Portuguese are widely spoken. Papiamento is drawn from Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English, and West African languages. This Creole language traces its

PIRATES OF THE PAST
CREATED A LEGACY
IN BARBADOS
Barbados is noted for two of its own pirates of
the Caribbean – Sam Lord and Stede Bonnet.
Legend has it that in the 1800s, Lord amassed
his wealth by hanging lanterns in trees near his
castle to attract ships. Once they wrecked on
the reef, he would plunder the ships for their
treasure. Bonnet was known as “the gentleman
pirate” for his lifestyle as a relatively wealthy
landowner before he turned to piracy in the
early 18th century. He captured and burned
several ships before his hanging in 1718.

BAHAMAS
A nation of 700 islands, the Bahamas is a deservedly popular and easily reached departure from
everyday life that is favored with perennial sunshine, white-sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters.
The islands are famous for world-class casinos, championship golf, cultural festivals, and every water
sport under the sun. At the core of the islands is a way of living that is both timeless and new, blending
international glamour and tropical ease to create an inviting oasis.
SUGGESTED
SIGHTSEEING
Peterson’s Cay
One of the most popular daytime destinations for snorkelers lies just one mile
off the coast of Grand Bahama Island on Peterson’s, a peaceful and secluded
cay (pronounced ‘key’) where guests can swim, suntan, and snorkel for hours
in relative privacy. Rare island birds inhabit the cay, and dozens of varieties
of tropical fish live in the waters around it. On the Kayak Nature Tour, guests
paddle two-by-two out to the cay. Once there, an experienced guide leads the
entire group into the aquamarine water, where hundreds of fish and other sea
creatures hide amongst seaweed and coral. There are also plenty of motorized
boats that visit this tiny island. A typical day trip lasts for three hours.
Port Lucaya
This bustling port is the center of activity on Grand Bahama Island. Not only
do the cruise ships and tour boats leave from the harbor, it is also the site of
one of GBI’s largest shopping centers. A handful of hotels and over a dozen
restaurants and bars are also located within five minutes’ walking distance.
Enjoy breakfast at one of the many restaurants before preparing to shop, sail,
tan or do whatever else it is that you fancy. Wander along the harbor’s edge;
you’ll see plenty of signs advertising snorkel cruises, diving classes, parasailing,
jet skiing, and every other aquatic activity. Most of the daytime activities leave
around 9:00 am, so try to arrive before then. If it’s shopping you’re after, the
options are endless. There are around 20 shops that offer the same kinds of
souvenirs. Options are available if you are in the market for fine jewelry, along
with a number of discount jewelry stores scattered throughout the mall. Good
lunch or supper options are surrounded by several places to simply relax with
a drink. As the sun goes down and the early birds go home, the port’s nightlife
scene starts to come alive. Even on a slow night, you’re assured of live music
in the courtyard.

OF A NATION
Dominicans possess a great passion for
dance, recognized almost immediately by
French observer Father Labat, who arrived
in 1795 when Spain ceded the island to
France by the Treaty of Basle: “Dance is in
Santo Domingo, the favorite passion, and I
don’t believe that there is anywhere in the
world a people more attracted to dance.”
Of all the rhythms that enrich the area’s
folklore, the merengue is the people’s expression, and it varies from generation to
generation.

Puerto Ricans celebrate a long Christmas season, which begins right after Thanksgiving and
lasts until Three Kings Day on January 6. In one
of many traditions associated with the season,
friends form into groups known as “parrandas”
or “trullas.” Akin to Christmas carolers, they
sing songs to the beat of bongo drums, guitars,
and other musical instruments while they travel around late at night to the houses of unsuspecting friends. After the groups arrive, they
are then invited in for food and refreshments.

A CHERISHED SYMBOL
OF LOCAL CULTURE
The drink of choice on this island, the
smallest in the world to be shared by
two separate governments, is Guavaberry, a legendary folk liquor. It was first
made centuries ago in private homes from
fine oak-aged rum, cane sugar, and wild
guavaberries, and it has a woody, fruity,
spicy, and bittersweet flavor. The rare fruit
is found high in the hills in the center of
the island, but the tiny fruit is unpredictable — it grows at different times every
year, and sometimes not at all.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
What’s Included? After browsing through this brochure, or our Web site, tell us or your travel agent
where you want to stay, for how long, and what sort of things you want to do while you are there. We
will quote a price that includes a special airfare, hotel room and applicable hotel taxes, as well as any
airport transfers or optional features that may be available through AmericanAirlines Vacations. Unless
otherwise noted, as in the case of hotels identified as “All-Inclusive,” our quoted prices do not include
other taxes or governmental fees, meals, gratuities or security surcharges, porterage, car rental
drop-off fees, and items of a personal nature.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Reservations: How Do I Book? If you are familiar with your chosen destination, you may want to book it
yourself either through our Web site at aavacations.com or by calling us at (800) 321-2121. If you are
not certain about any aspect of your plans, particularly if you are trying a new destination, we suggest
you let our specially trained representatives or your travel agent make your reservation to assure that
the vacation package is best designed specifically for you or your family.
Deposits and Final Payments: When Do I Pay? Once your specially designed vacation is booked, a deposit
of $100 per person is due within three (3) days. Final payment must be made at least 45 days prior to
your scheduled departure. From 12/17/2008–1/3/2009, final payment must be made 60 days prior to
departure. In some cases, there may be special airfares that offer better fares than our tour fares. In
those cases, full payment on the air portion may be due within 24 hours of booking. Bookings made
through our Internet site require deposit within 24 hours from the time of booking rather than the 3
days. We urge you to pay special attention to these dates because your booking will automatically be
cancelled if payment is not received. Again, payments can be made either by contacting us directly,
through your travel agent, or online for online bookings. AAdvantage® miles may also be used to pay
for hotel stays, airport transfers, and other features.
Price Guarantee: What if the Price Changes? The simple answer is that if the price increases after you
have given us a deposit, it’s our problem. We guarantee the cost of your vacation will not increase.
However, this guarantee does not apply to increases in fuel surcharges or air taxes. In some cases, there
may be special airfare sales that actually offer better fares than our tour fares. In those cases, we will
give you the option of either using the tour fares, with all the flexibility and protection they offer, or
using instead the sale fares. The sale fares are often not refundable and will be guaranteed only when
you make final payment on these sale fares, rather than from the time of your deposit.
Documents: What Sort of Vouchers or Tickets Will I Receive and When? AmericanAirlines Vacations will
send you two separate sets of documents. First, you will receive either an electronic ticket confirmation
or paper ticket (subject to printing surcharge if not using the electronic confirmation method), issued
for your air transportation. With electronic tickets all you need is a passenger receipt and passport.
Second, we will send you vouchers or confirmation slips for all of your land arrangements. These
documents will be mailed approximately three weeks prior to your departure date. We urge you to
review your documents thoroughly to ensure they are correct. To expedite documents, an additional
service fee of $25 would apply.
Restrictions and Fees: Are There Any Special Rules I Need to Know? Yes. In order to put together the
special values we offer, we have to impose some restrictions. For example, the minimum consecutive
stay we can offer is two nights. Other restrictions include:
Revisions/Cancellations: Rules and fees for revising air arrangements depend upon the type of
airfare used. Non-refundable fares remain non-refundable even when the AmericanAirlines Vacations
Administrative Service charge fees apply for changes to dates or destination. American Airlines lost
ticket policy will apply for reissuance of lost air tickets. For revisions to your land arrangements, a $25
revision fee will apply for each change after the documents are issued. In addition, no revision may be
made within 7 days of departure.
Cancellations: If a vacation is cancelled, AmericanAirlines Vacations will retain a cancellation fee.
Contact an AmericanAirlines Vacations specialist for details.
Any money to be refunded to you will be refunded in the same form of payment you used originally (i.e.,
credit card) and will be received within 6-8 weeks. Though we process refunds as quickly as possible, we
must receive the vouchers and/or air tickets we forwarded to you before we can release any refund. These
documents, any application for refunds or compensation, if permitted, must be submitted in writing to
us within 45 days of scheduled return and must be accompanied by all negotiable land documents and
air tickets. It is not necessary to return non-refundable air tickets. Vouchers must be returned to:
AmericanAirlines Vacations, Customer Service, Mail Drop 5445, P.O. Box 619616,
DFW Airport, Texas 75261-9616.
VACATION DETAILS
Please note that refunds are available only when vacations are properly cancelled within stated time
limits. Because our vacations are specially priced as complete, customized packages, we cannot refund
portions of the vacation price for unused or partially unused land components or features, including
unused hotel nights or other components such as car rentals, transfers or lift tickets. Travel Agents
please note: you must cancel records in your automated tour system or the land portion will not show
cancellation, and penalties may apply.
Late Bookings: We try to accommodate vacation bookings as little as 4 business days before departure, subject
to availability. Any booking within 15 days of departure, however, will include an expedite fee of $25.
AAdvantage: If applicable, AAdvantage miles are awarded once per booking to one AAdvantage member
who must be one of the passengers in the reservation. AAdvantage miles cannot be earned on multiple
reservations for consecutive days, known as back-to-back reservations. Mileage is awarded after travel
is completed. Members using any amount of miles as a form of payment will not be able to accrue
mileage credit in the same reservation.
Cancellation and Change Waiver
What if Something Goes Wrong?
Fee Waiver/Pre-Departure Protection: $59 per person. Allows you to revise your booking at any time
before 7 days prior to departure (no revisions are possible within 7 days), or to cancel your booking
entirely any time until your scheduled departure time, without incurring any revision or cancellation
fee. Some features of your vacation may not be refundable, even if this waiver is purchased. Other
conditions of this waiver may apply. Again, some airfares may be put on sale as non-refundable or with
other fare rules and those rules are not covered by this Waiver. Waiver is not available to purchase for
the travel dates 12/17/2008 –1/3/2009.
Airport Check-In: It is recommended that you check-in at the airport at least two hours prior to the
scheduled flight departure and report to the gates at least 30 minutes before the flight departure.
Failure to comply with these conditions may result in the loss of your seat.
Car Rental Requirements: Driver must be at least 25 years of age and in possession of a valid driver’s
license and a major credit card in their name. Car cost may not include drop charges, tolls, taxes,
surcharges, upgrades, recoupment fees, airport fees and optional charges such as protection options
and additional drivers. An under age fee will apply for drivers age 21-24 years. Rental charges are
based on each 24 hour period commencing at time of rental, with any additional hours subject to
extra charge. A major credit card or a cash refundable deposit is required to protect against incidental
charges and damages, payable directly to the rental car company. Car rental companies will not refund
any unused portion of a voucher.
