If you're feeling adventurous, the Bahamas are between 90 mins and 2 hours off the coast. In addition to the aircraft, hire a couple of decent lifejackets and a liferaft (water temp not a problem!). As well as your navigation, it'll expand your experience of flight plans, customs & immigration and managing an overnight stop. Also, landing at an International Airport (Nassau), for the equivalent of about £5, definitely brings a smile to the face. If you have a 'better half' with you, they will be impressed - mine was!
