Off to Bermuda

Post by liamsaunt »

We are going to Bermuda tomorrow. Haven't been in seven years, so it should be interesting to see the changes.

I have to say that trying to research this trip has showed me how great this forum is! There is nothing remotely close to this forum out there for Bermuda. Finding even general information from other travelers as opposed to official tourism sites was really, really hard! Even the well known places like TTOL, Fodors, Frommers, heck, even Trip Advisor, don't have all that much to say about Bermuda.

So, we are basically going in blind, relying on our memories from seven years ago and a moon guide book. I am sure we will have fun anyway!

My boss is leaving for Caneel on Saturday. Yup, I am jealous!

Have a great trip. We haven't been in 5 years. Will be interested to hear how you find it.

There used to be a great Bermuda forum, but due to some in-fighting, it died.

I look forward to your take on it too Becky. We went on a cruise several years ago. It was expensive then and I didn't think the beaches came close to the Csribbean but we liked it. Very formal in comparison to St John, IMHO.... You and John have fun!! :D

Have a great time! I've always thought of Bermuda as formal and humid; perhaps a misperception. Looking forward to your report. (btw, didn't you just get back from 3 weeks in STJ?/happy, positive envy.) Ali~ :D

We were there 11 years ago, and liked it, but haven't been since.

Enjoy!

If you happen to see this place, let us know what you think:

Looks basic but interesting on their site.

Funny Bermuda is one of those places we looked at and could not find a ton of information. Finding this site helped move us to USVI instead this year.
I hope you do a trip report, I would love to read more about it. Have a great time!
