On the vernal equinox we set out for Fort Lauderdale to spend the night prior to boarding the Regent Voyager for a 15-day passage from Miami to Barcelona. We have always enjoyed ocean crossings especially on a beautiful ship like the Voyager. With a total of 10 sea days, we would have plenty of time to contemplate the world while sailing across one of its vast bodies of water. When we finally reach Barcelona, we’ll dock very near a statue of Christopher Columbus…another wanderer who apparently liked transiting oceans also. I often think of him and marvel at his adventurous spirit and bravery to set out on an expedition to the unknown without radar, GPS, satellite phone or paper map and no room service either. Now that’s what I call roughing it. We stayed at the ... read more

Bermuda, a nice wonderful place that captures travelers to scenic places in this place. Captures travelers' dreams in the eyes of going there to be exposed to that place. A lot of history in that small place. It's about a few miles away from South Carolina and Norfolk, Virginia. A relaxing place for those who are in budget. Although, Bermuda is one of the highest expensive places to be at due to high import taxes on goods when purchasing souvenirs on the island; cruising to Bermuda is the cheapest way to go. Cruises come out from Baltimore, New York, Bayonne in New Jersey as well A lot of forts and canyons in Fort St.George as well as Hamilton. Check out the photos of Bermuda! I adore Bermuda a lot! This should be a place for those ... read more

Day 13 - Tuesday, May 17, 2016 - Hamilton, Bermuda - Weather forecast: mostly sunny - temperature: 23°C/73°F - winds 5 knots, 2 Beaufort Today we decided to explore the St. George end of the island. Several bus routes serve that end so we selected one that took us along the south shore before heading up to The Causeway that joins St. George’s Island to the main island. Along the way we stopped at the Crystal Cave, which includes the Fantasy Cave. The caves were discovered in 1907 and 1909 respectively and are actually joined through a series of underwater tunnels and are only accessible to very slim scuba divers. With 88 steps down to the Fantasy Cave & 83 steps Crystal Cave plus a 100 meter 30° ramp Brooke opted to only descend into the ... read more

We should be ashamed to say I guess - we honestly thought BERMUDA was much closer to the other Caribbean islands. Surprised were we when we booked our flight a week before departure and saw the flight was only 2 hours (no fear of the Bermuda triangle here). Almost directly east from New York. Our timing could not have been better. We just got hit by hurricane Sandy and have been without electricity for quite some time so it was time to get out of dodge. Flying out over the New York area was a shock. The area was devastated as far as we could see. We landed in HAMILTON very late. The taxi cab ride to the other side of the island to CAMBRIDGE BEACHES HOTEL RESORT took just under an hour. We winded our ... read more

Hi Everybody! If you are looking for a safe spot for a vacation, you might want to consider Bermuda. It is only 2 1/2 hours from Atlanta. It has a sunny, temperate climate (70's & 80's), beautiful pink sand beaches, is very clean, and has friendly people. The only negative is that it is expensive! Everything is imported from the U.S. They grow a few crops but are unable to meet the needs of the population. Luckily, the citizens do not have to pay income tax or sales tax. The island has zero unemployment. I assumed Bermuda was one large island but quickly discovered that it is made up of six main islands joined by bridges. There are actually 138 islands, but some are just large volcanic rocks. Bermuda is 21 square miles. Locals call ... read more
