Dec 7th, 2011 at 9:00AM: Moving to Bermuda was never my idea, but when my wife followed her career to the City of Hamilton I hardly protested. After all, who wouldn't want to relocate to an idyllic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Bags packed and container full, we waved goodbye to our metropolitan apartment and soon discovered what so many island ex-pats already knew: Bermuda is a wonderful place to call ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

On Bermuda Time: Reflections on an expatriate life in the Caribbean
Dec 7th, 2011 at 9:00AM: Moving to Bermuda was never my idea, but when my wife followed her career to the City of Hamilton I hardly protested. After all, who wouldn't want to relocate to an idyllic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Bags packed and container full, we waved goodbye to our metropolitan apartment and soon discovered what so many island ex-pats already knew: Bermuda is a wonderful place to call ...Last minute tropical Labor Day getaways
Aug 29th, 2011 at 3:00PM: Ready, set, book. The East Coast was largely spared the wrath of Hurricane Irene and no other pending tropical storms are threatening to ruin your upcoming three-day weekend. Why not jet away for a quick tropical vacation? From the East Coast, many Caribbean islands are a nonstop flight away, and from the west and Texas, Mexico is an easy jaunt.
Consider the following great last-minute Labor ...Summer Travel: Seven great luxury beach getaways
Apr 27th, 2011 at 2:00PM:
The weather is warming and we're itching to hit the sand (after a few more weeks in the gym, naturally).

Play up the "luxe" factor at these great summer beach destinations for those seeking to see and be seen, enjoy world-class restaurants ...AirTran helps this travel writer put the "fun" back in flying
Apr 8th, 2011 at 10:31AM: Flying is not usually a fun experience, and, as a travel writer, I often dread the drudgery of airport security, limited fast food options and cramped middle seats. But sometimes, you're surprised. After a marathon security line at Baltimore-Washington International airport and a trudge down to the end of Terminal D, I heard peppy music, which I thought was emanating from the rum bar a few gates ...Top 20 countries for life expectancy
Mar 21st, 2011 at 10:00AM:
"Old people" - we all hope to live long enough to earn this distinction. In some countries, the probability of living well into your eighties is much better than in others. The worldwide average for life expectancy is just a smidge over 67, with the highest and lowest countries fluctuating by over 20 years in each direction. 39 of the bottom 40 countries are located on the African continent, ...Bermuda's Port Royal Golf Course hosts PGA
Oct 21st, 2010 at 5:00PM: While many people celebrate fall, there are people like me who still long for warm summer breezes.

With temperatures still in the high 70s on the island and a course that rivals the best in the world, Bermuda in ...Top 5 things to do in Bermuda
Aug 2nd, 2010 at 3:00PM: Few people think to travel to Bermuda but those who do find a charm unknown on many more popular islands.

Jul 6th, 2010 at 1:30PM: No matter how well-traveled you are, moving to a foreign country and living as an expat is a whole new ballgame. Your priorities and standards change, and hours that you may have spent as a traveler in a museum or wandering a beach are now spent in as an expat search of an alarm clock or trying to distinguish between eight types of yogurt. You become like a child again: unable to speak in complete ...Sizzle in the Bermuda sun this summer

Mar 14th, 2010 at 9:00AM:
Sometimes, procrastinating doesn't come with any consequences. It doesn't happen often. We're taught from a young age that early birds get to kill and chomp on the best worms, not to put off to tomorrow the stuff we can do today (even if we don't feel like it) and to seize the day. If you don't, then opportunity may disappear before you get a taste. Well, Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is ...Five steps to a better Valentine's Day from Fairmont

Nov 9th, 2008 at 2:30PM: This Sunday's Columbus Dispatch travel section is devoted to Caribbean travel. With this morning's post on Caribbean vacations, written before the Sunday paper arrived on my front porch, I'm wondering if I'm getting a message.
One article, "Caribbean offers comfort for less cash" by David Swanson points out an option not mentioned in today's earlier post--Tobago. After reading about all of ...Top Five Destinations of Travel Writer Christopher Elliot
Mar 5th, 2007 at 3:00PM: I checked the Baby Boomer Trips website to see what is happening there these days. Last month, I mentioned the feature, Ask Nan. This time I browsed the Interviews section. Christopher Elliot is one of the interviewees. As a person who writes for National Geographic Traveler, the U.S. News & World Report and who is a columnist for the New York Times, I'd say Elliot knows a thing or two.

Dec 28th, 2006 at 3:14PM: When you're talking the ABC's of the Caribbean islands the 'B' usually stands for Bonaire or some might say Barbados or the Bahamas, but today it stands for Bermuda. Why Bermuda and why today? Well I recently found this story from the Baltimore Sun online on one man's journey to the island dominated by shades of pink and super nice sandy beaches that seems very much worth your attention whether ...
