The beauty of Pulau Redang - Redang Island

By Garie Goh


I've always fancied a visit to Redang Island or Pulau Redang (as known by many others) after catching the movie, Summer Holiday, in my younger days. A couple of months back, I came upon an attractive deal from Redang Bay Resort, so I thought, why not?

Flying with Berjaya Air from Singapore

Redang bay resort is situated on Redang Island, off the eastern coast of Terengganu (Peninsula Malaysia). It's so convenient if you are residing in Singapore, Malaysia or even Indonesia (from Batam). For my friends living in Kuala Lumpur, it's only a 6 hours drive away to the jetty at Kuala Terengganu or Merang.

70 minutes by plane from Singapore

My first time onboard Berjaya Air. Neat and comfy plane with little passengers. Taking a mere 70 mins by flight from Changi Budget Terminal, Singapore. I literally had my safety-belt on throughout the flight. I couldn't recall when was the last time I had my seat-belt in place throughout a flight.

Arriving in Redang

When I arrived in Redang, it was beautiful. Pristine, idilyic, glowing waters, powdery beach front, amazing coral reefs and the crew at the resort informed me that there are more than 20 diving and snorkeling areas around Redang Island.

45 seconds to the beach

The most impressive part of the resort I chose is that the beach is simply a few strides away from the resort. I guess maybe a 45 seconds walk? I was tempted to try out some of the features the resort offer including canoeing trips, karaoke, Beach football (my favourite), Kayak trips, and various card games. But nothing beats hanging out at the beach with a bottle of Tiger Beer.

Looking at some of the offers available at the resort which includes:

1. jungle trekking

2. scuba diving and snorkeling

I went with the snorkeling trip!

Tips when visiting Redang

Here are some tips if you plan to visit Redang anytime soon. :)

Price: RM 428 per person for twin room. This includes boat transfer from Merang Jetty.

An attractive package;

3 Days 2 Nights could include the following: 8 meals (2 breakfast, 2 lunch, 2 dinner, 2 tea break) all meals are buffet style with BBQ on alternate nights (I really enjoyed that)

There are some packages that comes with 3 snorkeling trips and operating at: 9.30am & 2.30pm everyday. One snorkeling location at Marine Park inclusive. You have a choice to replace it with a jungle trekking trip if If you are not into sea sports.

Do note that, all packages excludes: life jacket rental - RM 15, marine park fee - RM 5 and mask snorkel set rental - RM 15

Book a flight with Berjaya Air if you are from Singapore - it flies from Changi Budget Terminal to Redang Airport in a mere 70 minutes. Flight departing at 11.50am and reaches around 1pm Redang. Returning flight to Singapore is at 10am. This daily flight back to Singapore is a huge thumbs up for me!

Berjaya Air cost SGD 150 for return flight tickets comes with only 10kg luggage allowance. Is alright for me anyway.

With all that said, I had a amazing weekend at Redang Island.

Private Jets Are Much More Than Saving Time And Being Flexible

By Daniel Pott


There are many things that you think of when you think about a private jet. The initial thing that comes to mind is the convenience of what traveling on a private jet charter entails. You have the convenience of not having to arrive at the airport hours early, only to sit around and wait for your flight. There is the added convenience of not needing to wait in lines to check your luggage and make your way through the security check-points.

Also, you're not constrained on what you can take onto the jet charter with you. If you happen to have been drinking a bottle of water when you reached the airport, you can take that onto the jet. In actual fact, you can bring any drink and food that you choose to take along. You could actually carry on a whole large pizza if you wanted to. Better yet, have the charter company have everything ready for you before you arrive, that may be something easy like a catered deli lunch or a four star meal.

It is up to you. But other than food, you do not need to worry about what you pack, you are able to take along your medicine and personal products including shampoo and other necessities without having to stress about some low paid security officer searching through your belongings and commenting on them. The name of the game is privacy and with a private chartered flight, that is precisely what you get. So these are some benefits, however there are more.

Besides saving time in the airport, the booking company can take care of other arrangements for you. They can arrange transportation to and from the airport and any other transportation that need while at your destination. They can provide security services for very important clients or very important cargo. Armed security and body guards are not beyond the capabilities that are available.

The service will work out all of the logistics and details, all you have to do is let them know what you expect and then sit back and enjoy the trip. Another appealing factor is that the aircraft will only be occupied with men and women that you choose it to be occupied with. Family, friends, business acquaintances, are all welcome to fly along, but there will never be anybody that you don't approve. You make the final decisions and what you need is what they provide.

This island has hardly any permanent residents, and lots of space to explore the beautiful beaches and wildlife -it's well known for its large population of iguanas, as well as Red-Footed Booby, a large seabird. If you're a diver, you'll want to explore the 6,000 foot coral wall that can be found on Little Cayman, at Bloody Bay Marine Park. Cayman Airways has regional flights running in between the main airport at Grand Cayman to the smaller islands, including Little Cayman.

This mixture of a laid back atmosphere and sophisticated culture is one of the interesting aspects of the Cayman Islands. In summary, Cayman Airways is an airline that can take you to some of the most breathtaking Caribbean destinations in the world. The Cayman Islands are pictured as foreign and remote, but are actually nearer than you might imagine. If you are interested in a quickie vacation flight, all you need to do is book a ride on Cayman Airways from Miami to Grand Cayman and you will be there is just over sixty minutes!

Obviously, flying carries risk. This is exactly why it is extremely vital that you get insurance coverage before you decide to fly anyplace, just in case something occurs. Seek advice from your neighborhood insurance professional to learn more.

The simple way to Select Inground Pool Cleaners And Save Cash

By Amy McFly


Inground pool cleaners have been around since 5 decades ago. The first of its kind was developed by Ferdinand Chauvier, a Hydraulics engineer who moved to S. A. from the Belgian Congo. Using ideas on Hydraulics, an automated cleaner collects dirt and other sediments from your pool. It functions together with your pool filter and does not require chemicals to keep your pool free of bacteria.

The first prototype pool cleaner was invented in 1951 but it was not till 1974 that the first industrially produced automatic pool cleaner became available. The Kreepy Krauly was developed by Chauvier himself and was instantly accepted by the masses. The Kreepy Krauley keeps its acceptance until now. With over 1.5 million users, this machine is well-loved for its touch structure and perfect design. Unlike its rivals, the Kreepy Krauley includes a 20-year guaranty.

Pool cleaning can be such a painful chore. However , having a good maintenance system can serve you well in the longer term. A clean pool is not only safer to swim in. It also looks better with more clear, algae-free water. A strong automated cleaner pays itself off in the long run, which explains why more and more folks are making an investment in one.

There are many pool cleaners out there and picking only one is nearly as nerve-wrangling as cleaning the pool yourself. Each model isn't the same as the others. It is very important to find one that works best with your pool and meets your demands also. Fortunately , plenty of pool supply stores are more than willing to help you with this task. You simply need to provide them with your pool's dimension and volume. Knowing what purifying system your pool uses would come useful too.

The most widely used pool cleaners today are the suction-side driven and pressure side-driven cleaners. A more advanced option is the robotic pool cleaner. Older pools may still utilize a return-side pool cleaner. However , many people have switched to more modern types. A return-side cleaner requires a dedicated pump to work. It also needs giant volumes of water, making it more high-maintenance. These elements have led on to their decreasing acclaim among buyers.

A close cousin of the return-side cleaner is the pressure-driven cleaner. The second is different because it uses 2 motor pumps. The extra motor is for the booster pump, which lends added power to extend pressure and inspire better water flow. 1 or 2 inground pool cleanersowners would argue on its energy efficiency, since an extra pump would certainly consume more electricity. Regardless of this drawback, having 2 motors increases efficiency.

A suction-side cleaner is also commonly used in pools. It works by siphoning dust thru its bottom as it glides across the pool's floor. Its owners would attest to its ease in operation and assembly. A robotic pool cleaner is perfect for lazy pool owners. Unlike any other inground pool cleaners, it has motion sensors on its bumpers to make sure it does not hit any walls. You can leave it alone to do its job.

Are All Snake Bites Deadly?

By Margaret Timmen


It appears to be that around the planet people have a deadly fear of snakes but our precise real factual knowledge of them is naive, although we humans are much larger than them! Adults and children alike, sporadically live in fear when venturing in known hot spots where they might be. People nonchalantly admit to not even travelling to certain countries like Australia, imagining they are seen consistently and may be stalking under any bush lying in wait to attack. It'd surprise you to hear that death from snake bites is intensely rare but that's not to claim we should not be apprised of the risks and easy provisions in the eventuality of a nip or a bite!

If you or a member of your family or group were to be bitten by a snake then there are some immediate first aid steps that should be taken to ensure a quick and speedy recovery or initial treatment until the patient can be attended to by emergency services or a doctor. Unfortunately due to the rare occurrence that people cross paths with snakes the identification of exactly what snake has bitten you can be difficult. Hopefully you will get a glance of the snakes markings or size before if slithers away at speed. If you can identify the snake inform the medical staff immediately as this will be a key factor in what anti-venom they should use. If you are not certain then it is important that venom-detection is used as using the wring anti venom can equally serious consequences.

After you are aware you have been bitten stay still and apply the right pressure to immobilise the bitten area. Don't run away the same you would do if you have seen a mouse! - the snake will do that for you as he is just as terrified of you! Try to utilize a splint rather than a truly tight bandage, but if you want to employ a bandage make the pressure not dissimilar as that required for a sprain or twisted ankle. Don't take away the splint or bandage until emergency services have reached you or you them.

Laying still is crucial and equally there is no need to rip off layers of clothing as even the slightest general movement will assist the venom circulating further into the bloodstream. resist the temptation to walk or run to the car so that you can get to a hospital unless absolutely necessary. Unlike say a bee sting, do not try to extract or suck out the venom as this can easily have the opposite effect.

Sporadically a bite can happen so quick that you may not notice, or there is a delayed reaction until you realize what's occurred. However there are some basic symptoms which should confirm if you have succumbed to a bite. Symptoms like headache, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain are good signals. Continued bleeding from a bite or unsettling, tender lymph nodes, along with blurred vision, muscle weakness or paralysis are all swift suggestions you have submitted to a bite.

Attempting to find medical help is vital and speed should be of intense haste. If in outback distant areas then flying doctor services should be called - they are going to have the info and experience. Ideally if you are travelling in an out-of-the-way area where snakes are common then you must typically take a travel medical kit equipped with anti venom or at the least the power to form a good splint. You can also have to hand a simple chart of snake marks for the area to help identification.There are many survival medical kits which now cater for the outside prospect of a snake bite. As with any emergency the best guidance isn't to panic, keep calm and remain with the victim to give moral support and help with administering the required procedures until emergency staff arrive.

Solana Beach California - Fun Activities While Vacationing

By Terry Hunefeld


The little beach-town of Solana Beach is nestled along the Pacific Ocean's sandy coast approximately 22 miles north of the San Diego airport. It's bordered by Cardiff-By-The-Sea on the north, the chic town of Del Mar (and it's horse race track) on the south, the popular Lomas Santa Fe Country Club on the east and, of course, the sparkling Pacific Ocean on the west.

The climate is near perfect with winter high temperatures ranging from 59 - 63 with abundant sunshine. Summer high temperatures average 74 - 79 pleasant degrees thanks to the refreshing breezes off the ocean. Temperature variations between night and day tend to be moderate during summer with a difference of perhaps 20 degrees. During winter temps vary of 23 degrees between daytime highs and nighttime lows.

There is more to here than just near-perfect weather - there is something for everyone: great dining, diverse shops, surfing, an active nightlife scene, bicycling along the ocean, hiking and nature walks along the lagoons, and, of course, beautiful beaches - where every evening residents and visitors alike gather to enjoy world-class sunsets.

The popular Cedros District has the quaintness and mystery of an old European side-street featuring more than eighty shops from trendy to antique, chic to bohemian. A little exploring will find authentic furniture from the far east, antiques from Africa, hand-woven tapestries from South America, tony spas, adventure and travel gear, custom hand-made jewelry, health-food restaurants, design studios and one-of-a-kind salons. all combining to make Cedros one of San Diego's most interesting shopping and business areas.

Perhaps the most famous commercial establishment in Cedros is the Belly Up Tavern with a distinguished history of bringing all kinds of music to the San Diego area. The Belly Up has often been voted "San Diego's Best Live Music Venue" by the San Diego Union Tribune, The San Diego Reader and San Diego Magazine. It's been called "one of the coolest music scenes on the west coast" by Rolling Stone Magazine.

Next door to the Cedros District is part of coastal California's outstanding rail system. The local commuter train, the Coaster, and California's coastal Amtrak stop at the station at 105 N. Cedros Ave., providing easy access to San Diego as well as towns and cities along the coast of California.

The coastline has cliffs that encroach right to the water's edge in places, making them practically impassible especially at high tide. Staircases descend the cliffs at practically every street corner so that every part of the beach is accessible vertically. This makes a visit to the beach bit adventurous because one staircase may lead you to a deserted beach where you can be alone with your friends and your thoughts while another may lead to a busy beach teeming with surfers, families and fishermen.

Right next door is the city of Del Mar - the only town in San Diego county with a world-class thoroughbred horse-racing track. It was founded by Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante and is know as the track where the "surf meets the turf" and has been attracting horse racing fans since 1937. Del Mar in Spanish means "the sea".

The nationally known Jenny Craig weight loss company has it headquarters here and employs more than 180 people. East of the freeway, Interstate 5, is the newer section of Solana Beach: a country club surrounded by luxurious executive homes.

Beach town lodging options San Diego area include Solana Beach accommodations and Solana Beach Hotels.

Are You Currently Considering Growing Tomatoes?

By Fred Duncan


If you are a tomato lover, then you know how incredible it is to eat fresh, homegrown tomatoes. That makes many individuals want to raise their own tomatoes at your home. However before you get started, here are a couple things you need to be aware of before getting out your gardening tools:

Planting Strategies

Each one of the unique species of these fruits has a various natural environment that it will blossom in. Some of the plants become towering, bushy plants and they require an abundance of room in a garden area. Other plants are reduced in size and may be just as well-suited in a potted planter on a patio area as well as on an apartment or condo terrace. Still others have been intended to be cultivated from a hanging plant. It is advisable to think about the planting space you have available and the options that are appropriate for your space before you decide on a species and begin growing tomatoes.

Dining Issues to consider

The reality is that by cultivating tomatoes, you'll have a whole slew of tomatoes ready to eat in just a couple of months. A sole plant can put off dozens of tomatoes inside of weeks. With these fruits, you can slice them up and eat them on their own or in sandwiches, fry them up, eat them in salads, and much more. You can transform some into homemade pasta sauce or salsa. You may also want to jar a lot of them for later use after it is not raising season any longer. Many of these fruits are better designed for certain dining options than others. For instance, tiny cherry tomatoes are excellent on salads but may be sloppy to eat in a sandwich. Consider your dining requirements when deciding on the sort of fruit you will be planting.

Attention and Maintenance

Typically, raising tomatoes is just about the least complicated fruits to grow. You can grow these from a seed, but most people buy fledgling plants from a greenhouse. Such plants could be just a couple of inches tall or over a foot tall, and some could possibly be close to giving out their first fruit! Generally, they need to be planted and the soil needs to be kept moist. Many of these plants like a full sun atmosphere, and sun is typically necessary to ripen the fruit. These generally are not self-pollinating vegetables, so you will need the help of Mother Nature's little bugs to pollinate the charming yellow flowers that the plants put out.

The Fruits

When the fruits start growing, you will need to ensure that your plants get plenty of water. The plants require water to create juicy tomatoes, and quite often the greater amount of water they get, the bigger their size will be. When cultivating tomatoes, you can provide a plant an excessive amount water, though, so attention needs to be taken to prevent over-watering. If critters like birds and other outside creatures start eating your fruits, you may put up a fence and a fine netting product about the plants to ensure that they're safe. You can also pluck green fruits that are full-sized and allow them to sun ripen on a window ledge.

How To Get Started

If you have determined that growing tomatoes is in your future, you will want to start reading up on the raising season in the area and begin putting together the resources you have to have. Additionally, you will want to take time to study what type of plants you intend to plant, too!

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Is Becoming The Standard For Many Women

By Adriana Noton


There are people who say that love is nothing but a serious of chemical reactions. What this decidedly cynical stance is ignoring is the fact that everything within the human body is regulated through chemistry. It is the force behind digestion, our immune system, brain function, as well as everything else. The most potent chemical compounds are hormones which are produced by the endocrine system which has glands all over the body, as well as within the pancreas. For men and women, they have additional producers within their testes and ovaries. When women have issues during menopause, which is completely related to hormones, more and more are choosing bioidentical hormone replacement.

While the link between menopause and these chemical regulators is understood, it's important to understand the role that hormones play in the body. Traveling throughout the bloodstream they are the driving force behind multiple bodily processes.

As we age these processes are directly related to growth and development, metabolism, mood, and for women the start and maintenance of their sexual maturity. This maturity is biologically defined as the start of menstruation.

More than anyone else, women are acutely aware of the havoc that excess or increase hormone production can have on the mind. These times are usually during periods and especially during pregnancy which can find women feeling completely unlike themselves. Instead of an increase in production, menopause deals with a steady depletion.

This process lasts years and includes symptoms that vary wildly among women. They include weight gain, a loss of sexual interest, depression or other mood disorders, as well as hot flashes. This later issue deals with the body's internal temperature regulation and can be especially hard to deal with.

Nothing can stop or reverse menopause since it is a natural part of the aging process. Treatments deal exclusively with the alleviation of symptoms and help to maintain a more youthful appearance and attitude.

This treatment has always been, for over fifty years, the injection of synthetic hormones. These compounds are created within the laboratory and administered by a physician through a structured regimen. It hasn't been without its critics, however, and has been suggested to be related to an increase in breast cancer risk.

Offering something different, companies are now creating what they call bioidentical hormones which are no different, biologically, from the ones that are produced in the body. This is possible because instead of synthesizing them from chemicals, they are derived from natural sources like plants.

Unlike their synthetically created counterparts, these hormones are derived naturally. This just means that they are sourced from plants which many believe is better. Compounding pharmacies are creating one of a kind formulations that are directly related to a patient's specific depletion.

Don't be fooled into thinking that you can monitor your own hormones, despite what some companies say. There are kits that test saliva, but these are not a good way to get an overall picture of your levels since these compounds fluctuate wildly throughout the day.

Getting through menopause is easier with your doctor by your side. Deciding to choose bioidentical hormone therapy just means that you're interested in making sure what you add to your system is completely natural in its origin.

Quilting Kits - Not Just For People New To Quilting

By Jane Green


No two people learn quilting the same way. A few individuals gain an interest in from a books or perhaps from a friend. For me, my nanna was an enthusiastic quilter. One wet day, I was at her house and she suggested that I might like to have a go at quilting.

She had purchased a quilting kit a fortnight before and had waited until I was bored before giving it to me, so this is how I learned about quilting kits and how I made my first quilt with a green quilt design.

What's A Quilting Kit?

There are a couple of different types, but the standard quilting kit is an all in one package for making a quilt from start to finish.

It includes the material, patterns and instructions on how to make the chosen quilt. The only thing they don't have is the tools, you're expected to provide your own.

Infrequently there are 'block of the month' type kits, where a different bit of material is sent to you once a month and you build it up over the year, but these aren't the most common.

Kits For Beginners

These kits are the perfect way for first-timers to learn how to make quilts. Everything is provided so you don't have to worry about not having the right materials.

The most worth comes from the instructions. The directions are made for people who have never made a quilt before. They contain all of the info and guides you have to know to turn the material into the quilt.

Just be certain to pick one that is labeled for beginners.

Kits For Veteran Quilters

Kits are not simply for newbies, there are more varied, advanced and complex patterns available for the more highly experienced quilter.

These are neat if you feel a bit like a simpler challenge, you do not have to spend a lot time coming up with and measuring out a design. You can just pick a pattern you like and get to work!

Hopefully this has given you a good idea on what quilt kits are and has inspired some new people to give them a go!

The Benefits Of A Homemade Telescope Roof Mount

By Carole Ashley


It's a simple and well-known fact that the quality of images is directly proportional to the power of the telescope you use. With that being said, a homemade roof mount can help improve the clarity of the images that are captured by your telescope, regardless of its power.

All right, let's have a virtual show of hands - how many of you armchair astronomers up there had tried climbing on the top of their roof to get a better view of the sky? If you said yes, that's all right because I've done the same back in the day. Because what amateur astronomer wouldn't want a better view of the sky by moving up close? So it's also common sense that a roof mount for your telescope would further enhance the images you view on your device.

Buying a roof mount for your telescope is always an option, but how about making a homemade mount instead that could be sturdier in the long run? All you need is some lumber and nails along with a little know-how!

The main thing you want to keep in mind when making a homemade telescope roof mount is stability. You would want to think of the roof's natural shape and not try to go against the grain. Always consider the type of your roof first and mold your lumber accordingly. Embrace the design of your roof and don't try to make any changes you will be sorry for in the end, because a homemade telescope roof mount, after all, is supposed to be stable.

Build your homemade roof mount out of quality supplies. Don't cut costs on what should be the best way protect your spiffy new investment, or even an older model dating back from years ago! Make sure your roof mount is accessible and convenient, because after all, you won't be storing your telescope outdoors anyway. Don't make it reachable only through that tiny opening in your attic. The roof mount will only serve its purpose if you make sure you make your telescope easy to get to.

You can find many different building plans for a homemade telescope roof mount. They are available online as well as in many different books on the subject. Before beginning this project and giving your telescope a nice little mount, you have to, once again, be at least a little handy with those tools of yours.

Every amateur astronomer should value the time they spend creating their own roof mount for their telescope. Making your own homemade roof mount for your telescope can also be a very rewarding experience as well. There's nothing quite like knowing that you are making your star gazing expeditions as personally fulfilled as they can be.

Everything you need to understand about the naked lifestyle

By Ed Clarke




The Naked Lifestyle

There are lots of life-styles being bandied around right now. Just what does "The clothes free Life-style" mean? It must mean lots of different things to different folks.

A pair in the life-style could mean they might be swingers but Naked Lifestyle? Well that's something totally different. A nudist or naturist may be in a "Naturist or nude Way of living" whereby they attempt to live as snug as possible without garments. understandably not many people can be undressed 100% of the time. For most Continentals it can get a bit too cold to be clothes free all every minute of the day. What if you're working? You can not go to work nude unless you are either working in a nudist resort or you are your own manager working in the right enviroment. I used to draft a column for the nudist mag "Naturist Life" under the title "The Naked Travel Agent" whereby I may be exposed at my desk typing away but actually it would be pleasanter having a job on the outside catching the rays.

If say you live in a hot country being naked all the time might have a significant effect on your skin for example fro carcinoma of the skin or your skin might become like leather. Even black people can get sunburnt so everyone has to watch out for the suns powerful rays.

I know of folk living "The nude Approach to life" in places such as Charco del Palo on Lanzarote. It's a naked town where folks can ramble the streets naked and it just be a normal activity. In Brazil the Colina do Sol is an entirely working naturist community with shops and properties where nakedness is the norm. Residents say it is the best thing on Earth. Again Brazil can be exceedingly hot so reasonable, cares need be taken.

Over in France the" Naked City" Cap d Agde" could be represented as the "Naked Approach to life" where you may be nude 24 hours a day, shopping nude, going into the bank or butchers exposed mean seem a bit bizarre but thousands do it each summer. Once instead the gates of the naked town you see folks riding bikes, swimming even windsurfing nude. Its most unusual to see someone in the daytime with garments on.

All year round nakedness in Europe loses out because of the weather but the Canary Islands and Caribbean are year round places to enjoy "The nude Life Style"

Bermuda - Visiting This Amazing Natural Paradise

By Ben Pate


Made up of a total of 138 islands and islets, Bermuda is a British colony fabled for its beauty. As a very popular tropical beach destination, Bermuda is among tourists' favorite spots. Although the beaches are one of the things that attracts visitors from all over,the interesting history and island atmosphere are attractive as well. Before you can travel to Bermuda, you will need a passport book or United States passport card.

One of the best things about traveling to Bermuda is being able to use a passport card in lieu of a passport book. A passport card can be used for all travel to Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada. However, passport cards are only acceptable if one travels by boat or car; all air travel requires a passport book. Going online is the best place to get either the book or the card, as well as a plethora of other services, like expedited lost U.S. passport replacements, passports for children, and more.

The Town of St. George is a top spot for those visiting Bermuda. It has earned the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being the oldest continuously inhabited British colony of the New World. Founded in 1612, it is famous for its colonial architecture, weaving streets of cobblestone, cozy parks, and much more. This means that after a long morning at the beach, St. George is a great place to unwind. One spot you don't want to miss is King's Square, which was the first public square in Bermuda, and you'll also want to see some of the important landmarks. These include churches, museums, old houses, and the Town Hall.

A large part of anyone's trip to Bermuda involves the water. Activities like scuba diving and snorkeling, swimming, boating, and fishing are top notch here, and there certainly is no shortage of places to do them. Horseshoe Beach, easily the most popular beach in Bermuda, is one of them. Famous for it's signature powdery pink sand, water that's as clear as glass, beautiful coves and caves, and the paradise atmosphere, it's an absolutely stunning location. For exploring the deeper water, there are plenty of dive and snorkeling companies. They can take you to explore shipwrecks, vibrant coral reefs, and more.

While Bermuda boasts plenty of natural beauty, it also has a very long and interesting history. Be sure to reserve a little time in order to check out the a few of the hundred or so forts that are located in Bermuda. Also reserve a little time to visit some of the museums, especially the Bermuda Aquarium, Natural History Museum, and Zoo, where you'll find more than 200 species of fish, birds, seals, turtles, and the world's first living coral reef exhibit, a 140,000 gallon tank containing replicated coral reef ecology and a thriving community.
