... I would put this sound int eh top 5 noises you do not want to hear when your airplane takes off!! The guy next to me looks at me ( like I am going to know what the noise is?!). He was like "that isn't a good noise", I said "no, not at all". I kind of figured maybe the lavatory smoke detector went off by mistake. In any case, it stopped after a few, and the rest of the flight was quite uneventful. ( always a good thing!)<br><br>Was amazingly smooth ride, quite surprising to me as there ...

We were supposed to arrive in Bermuda at 6pm but didn't get there until 11pm because of motor problems and couldn't berth until daylight so we waited until morning. Got off the ship and caught a ferry to the capital (can't remember name) and walked around the shops. A very expensive place. Funny to see business men in Bermuda shorts with shirts and ties. It was very hot. We found a couple of bars to have a beer and get into the ...

We didn't actually experience this day! The only way it exists to us is in the form of a UK newspaper we found in a little post office on the Island of Waiheke.<br><br>So if you did anything bad today, you're let off the hook.<br><br>(We weren't actually in Bermuda by the way)

... the five of us dined at Dominic's, a very good family style Italian restaurant. We didn't know it was a BYOB, but the waitress gave us each a glass of wine from the kitchen. I thought it tasted liked cooking wine! She later asked us how we liked it. I just told her, "It's not bad." She wasn't too happy with that answer. Well, I didn't want to say it was bad! The osso bucco was delicious! After dinner, Vicki opened a bottle of wine and we ...

Well the time has come - to say farewell to the island that has been our home for the past 6 1/2 years....what can we say - we've had a fantastic time and will miss all of our friends but it's time to see a bit more of the planet ! We'll keep in touch !

... Another early departure the next day at 4am and a lot of banging to wake up the doorman in the hotel to let me out! Delays in Houston meant I got to watch the long line of planes in front of us taking off; for the best part of any hour! But I didn't mind as finally actually on my way home and upgraded to first class.... a girl can't really complain! Some serious turbulence though on both the Houston to NYC ...

On Tuesday, we went to visit the Aquarium. It's a very nice aquarium, and they have lots of different species on "display". I went to see the turtles (they must have remembered me, because they said "hi"), and the seals. I love watching them swimming. They seem to float easily and to live a great life. Then, we went to ...

After 19 hours of travel, here I am ! BERMUDA ! I have flown AA to come here, with a stop in New York (JFK). The journey was a breeze, everything went smoothly. I arrived on the Island yesterday, at about 7.20 PM local time. It was already dark, but as we circled the Island to land, I was still able to get a good glance at what Bermuda looks like (at night). Robert ...

... you can dress in shorts for dinner. And dinner is a 4 1/2 star event. We find a table for two outside on the small terrace. at Hi Tide. We're overlooking the pool and the beach. The food is delicious. And the chocolate killer desert just added the perfect touch to the end of the day. Now, snug in my bed, the waves crashing against the rocks in the cove ten feet away (which if you are an extremely light sleeper with a sleep disorder ...

... that is, six islands - not airports). One cool thing is that Bermuda is home to the world's most northerly coral formations. I wonder if that Spanish guy Juan de Bermudez knew about all the cool coral when he discovered the place in 1503 - mind you, he only found it because he was ship wrecked there. Lucky for him he could come home with a discovery and not just a sad ...
