THE BAHAMAS -- Summer is here and eight lucky winners are throwing their cares behind and packing their bags for luxurious vacations to Abaco and Grand Bahama. They shopped at Furniture Plus and became the third and fourth winners in the Shop 2 Hop Bahamas promotion. It's all because Furniture Plus is celebrating their 20th anniversary and lavishing prizes all year long with the help of sponsors TourismToday.com, Bahamasair, Western Air, Sky Bahamas, Forbes Charter, and eight luxury resorts. By the end of this campaign they will have given away 16 trips for two all over The Bahamas archipelago for an estimated $40,000+ in prizes.  Nassau Shop 2 Hop Winner is headed to Abaco too! To prove how rewarding it can be to shop at either of its store locations, Furniture Plus gives monthly prizes in their Shop 2 Hop Bahamas promotion to both a Grand Bahama and a Nassau shopper. Joining Grand Bahama winner Yanique Pinder, Mrs. Michelle Arnett also won a 3 day, 2 night trip to Abaco Beach Resort with airfare included by Sky Bahamas.
