Some cool deals: Bahamas, Marco

I'm posting two deals this morning. After that I start traveling around Miami-Dade County at the annual feast known as Art Basel-Miami Beach.

You might wonder why a travel writer covers Art Basel; it has more to do with the "Basel'' part than the "Art'' part, but no matter. If you're anywhere near South Florida, check it out!

Meanwhile, here are two very cool deals:

• If you're snagging a pre-Christmas break, you may want to know that the Hilton Marco Island Beach is offering a $169 rate through mid-December, reports SmarterTravel.com. You can find some Marco rates at other hotels for as little as $90 per night.
• Bimini Bay Resort is offering free airfare for two from South Florida through March. For $1,600, the Island Hop package includes four nights accommodation, air from Fort Lauderdale and daily breakfast for two -- a 30 percent savings over the regular cost including air. 242-347-2900; ask for Air Hop promotion.
