My wife and I have been to Bermuda on pleasure and business.about 12 times. It is certainly the most beautiful island on this earth. We usually fly but have taken several cruises to Bermuda. The bus system of travel is not too expensive by American standards and quite reliable..We have stayed at the Hamilton Fairmont, the Reefs, Sonesta, Bermuda college,Grotto Bay, and some which are no longer in existence. The people are very friendlly and there is no poverty as we know it. I've played tennis at the old Sonesta but never got to the many beautful golf courses. We had planned to go this yearl 2008, but even with flying and lodging at the Hamilton Princess the cost is out of the question almost $2,500 for three days including flight from LGA or JFK but no meals except maybe contintental breakfast.
