Wonderful Time in Bermuda

To Suzanne Grealy... Then go visit Jamaica... But good luck going where you want to. Their are dangerous areas. You know why Bermuda is pricier? Cause EVERYTHING is so nice.

I grew up in Bermuda and really miss that beautiful island. We lived on Harvey Rd. in Paget parish. and I went to Dellwood elementary school. The beaches and sea water are really fantastic.

Things to remember, Bermuda is not in the Caribbean, it is warmed by the Gulf Stream and gets cool in the winter 50-60. You cannot rent a car, only scooters. If you want to hang out on the beach or play golf everyday you will be happy, there are the caves, dolphins, forts and a few other minor amusements, i would not consider it "kid" friendly (not much for them to do).

Tourism is down, many of the hotels are closed or partly closed, it is very expensive in Bermuda. As far as being safe, read the Bermuda Royal Gazette and decide for yourself.

It's not the Bermuda of 20 years ago, but it is only 2 hours from the east coast.

hi

Yeah, you can visit Jamaica but just like when you visit Mexico you can't just go wherever you want! Go to the wrong spot in Jamaica and you'll get robbed and killed-no joke. When you go to a country and they tell you that you can only go to certain spots, don't wander away from the group on your own if you're doing a tour, etc. then something's wrong.

My friend went there and when they were getting on the tour bus the driver was like 'go to the bathroom now if you have to because once we start we're not stopping for ANYTHING because we're going through dangerous territory.' Who wants that?

YES-I'm Bermudian and I'm proud. We may be expensive but at least we're safe. Bermuda is the most beautiful country on Earth!!!

yah man

I was in Bermuda several years ago with my (then husband) Mark. He was in a sailing regatta while I had flown directly to the island, and I must say the weather was lovely. The people were friendly and the beaches were beautiful. However, the one thing I do recall is that everything was very, and I mean very, expensive. Plus you were not allowed to drive you could only rent scooters. The natives are the only ones driving on the island. I have been lucky enough to have gone all around the world and I would put Bermuda as one of the top most expensive places to visit. You want to see beautiful beaches, friendly people and great weather? Visit Jamaica Mahn, its a fraction of the cost and just as wonderful.

My first trip to Bermuda was when I was 10 years old. As soon as I started working, I made it my home away from home. I stayed in various 'guest apartments' of friends I met and spent most of my time 'off the beaten track' that tourists go to. Bermuda is quite lovely and the people are so warm and friendly. They are very proud of their island and have every right to be. My last trip there was with my husband and we had a blast. We are looking forward to returning again and staying at our favorite place, 'Rosedon Hall'.

Great Pictures, I was there in 1993 on a cruise
