Anywhere that is warm, has water, unlimited cocktails, and no responsibilities is a dream vacation for me. However, if you add the breathtaking pink beaches, short flights, and caves, these are just a few of the reasons you should go to this 21 square mile island.
1. Short Flights: Flights from the east coast to Bermuda are about 2 hours. Short flights mean more time on vacation and less time spent next to the airplane's stinky person or crying baby. This is already a win-win scenario. Do I really need to continue?

| Pink Beach in Bermuda |
2. Pink Beaches: Beaches in Bermuda are pink. Crazy, right? There are tiny single-celled organisms called Foraminifera. When they die off, they mix with the coral and crushed rock, and once it makes its way to the shore, the mixture appears pink on land. This may not be entirely enticing, maybe on the border of gross. However, if real men wear pink, really cool people go to Bermuda.
3. Nightlife: When you can sleep in and relax all day, you can actually stay up past 8 p.m. The nightlife in Bermuda looks so exhilarating. Everything from Calico Jack's Floating Bar, where you are on a pirate ship, to The Dog House that hosts live music, comedians, and big screen tv's so you don't miss your favorite sports back home. There is something for everyone's interest.
4. Crystal Caves: There are some amazing caves in Bermuda; some of these caves inspired the creators of Fraggle Rock, one of my favorite shows when I was a child. The views of these caves are breathtaking online. I can't imagine how beautiful they look in person.

Rum Swizzle Unofficial Drink of Bermuda |
5. Rum Swizzle: I have never heard of a rum swizzle, but while I was researching destinations, every place that suggested Bermuda mentioned the Rum Swizzle. After some thorough research, the rum swizzle consists of light and dark rum, various juices, and a few other little ingredients topped off with a cherry, orange slice, and pineapple chunk. This is healthy because it has fruit in it.
These are just a few of the reasons to go. The amazing pink beaches are what caught my eye when looking for a vacation spot. Ok, maybe it was the rum swizzles too. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Hi Missy, great post! You have me convinced! That rum drink alone looks worth the trip!
ReplyDeleteHey Missy! I think you used bolding very well in this post as well as having it be in an ordered post. I thought the formatting was excellent and it definitely conveyed it's purpose of not only telling me why you believe it's a great location, but convincing me that it is one as well. Great work!
