Hey Nil

Thanks for the info, AB - but yes, you could have saved the wear & tear on your typing fingers by asking. We were there in 2003 for two weeks, and saw every square inch of the place - on our Oleander scooter! (Which, by the way, wouldn't start on the second day, and had to be replaced.)

We stayed at the Marley Beach Cottages last time; this time at a private apartment we found on the web (across the street from Church Bay). With the price difference, no tax, and higher Canadian dollar, our accomodations will cost about 1/3 this time what they did back in 2003.

Looking forward to our trip, even though it's only in October................

So much for my advise! But the reason I mentioned it was because I have a brother-in-law and his family on the island for ten years now and he stated to stay away from the others as they are worse.

Sounds like you must have enjoyed it to want to go back so soon.

Personally I loved it! We have been there twice thus far.

Nil, you should get yourself a work visa and make some huge tax free dollars.

Wel, as you are aware, you need those tax-free dollars to pay for the incredibly high cost of living down there!

Actually, CAs in Bermuda go through the same training as those in Nova Scotia, so my designation is valid down there. I have actually applied for a job in Bermuda, and would consider moving there for a few years if the job were the right one.

But can you watch Habs games there? Doesn't seem like it would be a hockey mecca.

Nil, that's why I mentioned it. My brother-in-law also started out there as a CA but since than has had many promotions. The guy makes tons of money and loves it there. He met another Ca there about five years ago also from AB.They are now married and have a daughter.

Good luck with everything!
