Visiting Bermuda
The Bermuda International Airport (BDA) is the main gateway. It gets flights from major cities on both sides of the Atlantic. As Bermuda has the world's highest landing and parking fees for airlines, the price of air tickets to Bermuda is correspondingly higher than that to other destinations in the Caribbean.

The Cheerful Traveler
Something to cheer up your trip.
A blond was driving along a country road, listening to the radio. The D.J. was telling blonde jokes one after the other, and she got extremely pissed off and turned of the radio.
She continued down the road, and in a field she saw another blond in a canoe trying to row across the field. She stopped and got out of the car, and yelled across to the other blond, "It's blondes like you who make everyone think I'm stupid. If I could swim, I'd come out there and give you a piece of my mind!"
