Bermuda Day Four and Home

The conference was a success. The kids did really well. Maybe they'll be back next year?

We had a great time at the Dunstan's. The view from their kitchen window is to die for. I wouldn't mind doing the dishes if I had that view. The food was good. The company great. The weather fantastic. The beach so beautiful. I think it was the highlight of our trip. It was fun talking to the locals about their island and compare California to Bermuda. What a difference in prices! Glad we don't have to pay those kind of fees. But the island is beautiful, so colorful. We loved it!

Bermuda - Day Two and Day Three

Went on a half-a-day sightseeing adventure today. Took the ferry to the dockyard, visited a few shops, took the bus to the lighthouse where we walked up 185 steps. Took longer to walk down because Alyssa can walk up but now down. Go figure. Took a taxi to Horseshoe Bay which was only a quarter mile from the lighthouse, but after walking all those steps, was a treat. We only stayed a few minutes because we had to make it back to Hamilton in time for our set-up at Cedar bridge Academy. Came back from setting up and had dinner at Greg's Steakhouse - yummy! Finally got to bed at 2:00 a.m. and up at 6:00 a.m. to print off the registration list.

Taxi's were waiting for us at 7:30 a.m. Got everything in order and the kids started flowing through the doors at 8:15. We were busy all day. We finally got back to our hotel at 4:30 and are now waiting to be picked up at 6:15 for a barbecue at the Dunstan residence. Can't wait to just RELAX!

Funny side story - we set the alarm for 5:55 a.m. so I could at least brush my teeth before going to the business center with Amanda to print out my forms.  Amanda called at 7:09 saying she tapped on my door, but guess I didn't hear it. I did a double take at the clock and woke the girls up - they had 20 minutes to get ready and be down in the lobby. I get to the business center and wonder, it's pretty quiet in the hotel, what time is it really? Amanda wouldn't wake me up 20 minutes before our pick-up time. It was 6:15! Tried calling the girls but the phone was placed in the cradle wrong so it rang busy. By the time I caught up with them they had been in the lobby for 10 minutes wondering where everyone was.  What confused them more - the taxis were already waiting for us. They wondered when Mr. Magic, our personal taxi driver, said they were down early. Nothing like jump starting your morning!

Bermuda - Day One

Bermuda! Yea! We made it. The water is so blue. So pretty. Busy with the Jr. Chef conference. Tomorrow morning we get to tour the island. We're taking the ferry to the Lighthouse, I think. In the afternoon it's off to set-up for  the conference. Dinner at Greg's Steakhouse. We'll take pics of the meal.
