It seems incredible to me that the gleaming island of Bermuda is celebrating it’s 400th anniversary this year. This beautiful island was first settled in 1609 by the survivors of a shipwrecked English vessel, The Sea Venture. Bermuda was the very first English colony and is the second oldest parliamentary democracy in the world. All I can say is ‘the years have been kind to Bermuda’ – she is as sparkling and beguiling as ever.
Visitors to Bermuda in 2009 will see the introduction of several new and redesigned resorts as well as gala celebrations all through the year. In case you haven’t considered the pleasures of Bermuda in some time, here’s a refresher about the charms that have captivated visitors for hundreds of years. Bermuda has 21 miles of glorious landscape including quaint harbors, pink sand beaches and dozens of mid-size luxury resorts and inns. Bermuda is one of the world’s top golf destinations with 9 championship courses – more courses per square mile than any other destination. 200 square miles of coral reefs will delight divers, who will find more wreck sites to explore than anywhere else on earth. Shopping and dining have always been a top priority in Bermuda, and you’ll appreciate that Bermuda’s currency is on par with the US dollar. Located just a two hour flight from major east coast cities, Bermuda makes a perfect long weekend escape destination.
There has never been a more exciting time to visit Bermuda and sink your toes into those warm, powdery pink sand beaches. Here’s a recap of the events and new venues awaiting you lucky travelers:

Waterfalls hide in all corners of this planet, from specks of islands like Réunion to bustling countries like India, some gushing straight down and others dilly-dallying along rocks, some amidst glaciers and others tucked away in parched landscapes. Each has its own charm, so how to narrow down the world’s most spectacular?
Dean Goss, along with fellow waterfall connoisseur Bryan Swan, have taken quite a calculated approach, working up an algorithm that figures in volume of water, height and verticality of drop, as well as setting—be it pristine or overdeveloped.

Macau’s first theme park called the Fisherman’s Wharf is bursting with excitement and is packed with entertainment for every member of the family.
The park is sure to please even the fussiest vacationers. The Fisherman’s Wharf is located near the ferry pier called the Hong Kong – Macau Ferry Pier.
Whatever the time of year that people drop by to this amazing theme park, it’s always full of activity. There is so much to see and do, as the complex has over a hundred shops and eateries. Each one of these little outlets is housed in structures that resemble international sea ports. They range from Venice and Amsterdam to even Cape Town. If this is not all, the park has its own casino and rides.
