Harris spent only a few minutes in the chamber, reciting a brief script to record her vote, and then received congratulations from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The occasion was hardly memorable or particularly ceremonial. “Our politics is so polarized that, even on the sort of matters that in the past would have flown through, it takes the vice president to cast a tiebreaking vote.” Goldstein, a vice presidential historian. “It really says more about our time, and our political climate, than it does about anything else,” said Joel K. It’s a reflection of her unique circumstances, with a narrowly divided Senate and a sharply partisan atmosphere. Have a great time, May is just around the corner now.Unlike Calhoun, who spent eight years accumulating his total, Harris reached 31 in 2 1/2 years. The ferry over takes about 2 hours and is a beautiful trip. There are a few shops and several good restaurants and you might even think about splitting your trip to stay some on Paradise Island and a few days on Harbour Island. Harbour Island would also be a fun day trip, it's small and has a beautiful beach, that will be pretty much deserted, since it is off season. (Side note, I was walking by the Empire State Building here in NYC and noticed a couple having problems reading a map of the city and asked if I could help, the gentleman replied in a Spanish Wells accent that yes that would be great, I was skocked to hear his accent and asked how long they had been in the city from the Bahamas and how was everything on Spanish Wells, and they were shocked that I would know their accent, just goes to show it's a small world.) Spanish Wells is beautiful and small enough so you can walk all around and have an out island experience. One thing you might do is take the fast ferry over to Eleuthera, Spanish Wells or Harbour Island for a bit of site seeing and find out what the out islands are about. You also might do a search on this site for info on the Bahamas. There is a bridge that connects PI to New Providence (Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas and only part of the island, there are many communites on the island). Paradise Island is right next to Nassau, you might want to get a book so you have a better idea of the layout of the island and it's proximity to everything. Don't bother moving hotels that does not make sense.
