Bermuda Vacation
First things first, Bermuda is not in the Caribbean but further North. It's a self-governing British overseas territory off the coast of North America east of North Carolina (about 650 miles). Bermuda has a thriving economy, with a large financial sector and tourism industry giving it the world's highest GDP per capita in 2005. It is blessed with a sub-tropical climate and beautiful beaches. Bermuda is one of the few islands in the world to boast pink sand and turquoise oceans. With 200 square miles of reef formations, and with some 350 wrecks, Bermuda is also a diver's paradise.
