Bermuda trip recap Monday, Sep 15, 2008 11:15 am

I spent last week in beautiful, sunny, tropical Bermuda, riding a scooter around and snorkeling at several of the island's gorgeous beaches.  It was excellent.  I know what you're thinking.  "Dave, what are you, like a bazillionaire?  Didn't you already go to Germany and Arizona this summer?"  Yes, I did.  But if you'll remember, we slept in a tent and ate crappy food in Arizona, and Germany was unexpected, but still a large portion of it was covered by Wendy's employer.  So no, I'm not a bazillionaire.  I just know how to travel cheap and often.  Case in point:  In traveling to Bermuda, we used credit card points to get airline tickets, then stayed in a bed and breakfast (and dinner) because hotels cost $200-$300 per night.  It wasn't a cheap trip per se, but it was cheaper than it could've been, which makes me happy.  Anyway, here's what we did: 

Day 1 - Arrived via plane; checked into the bed and breakfast; walked around the rocks at Devonshire Bay

Day 2 - Took a bus to Hamilton; rented a scooter; walked around to City Hall and Fort Hamilton; ate lunch and watched some opening week football; drove to John Smith's Bay for a swim

Day 3 - Drove to Hamilton; took a ferry to the Royal Naval Dockyard; snorkeled in Snorkel Park; took a ferry to St. George's; walked around Ordnance Island and Town Hall; walked further to the Unfinished Church and Fort St. Catherine; snorkeled in Tobacco Bay; took a ferry back to Hamilton; watched Monday Night Football

Day 4 - Drove to Horseshoe Bay (and left because it was crowded); snorkeled in Church Bay; climbed the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse; swam at Elbow Beach

Day 5 - Hiked in Spittal Pond Nature Reserve to Spanish Rock; stopped at Blue Hole Park and saw a blue hole and some caves; climbed up St. David's Lighthouse; snorkeled in Turtle Bay; snorkeled in a downpour in Tobacco Bay; watched the sunset

Day 6 - Walked through Paget Marsh; snorkeled at West Whale Bay; snorkeled and rode some waves at Warwick Long Bay

Day 7 - Snorkeled at Tobacco Bay; flew home
