In July 2004, Simon (my friend, the Connecticut cop), his wife, and daughter accompanied me to Bermuda. 
Last summer the four of us spent two weeks in his West Indian island (Dominica),
from which 27 years ago I had brought him and two of his siblings.

We cruised on the Norwegian Crown, experiencing 15-foot swells on the trip (meriting a
front-page story in The Royal Gazette about the high percentage of seasickness on our and a
Celebrity Cruise ship which arrived the same day).  We had a great time in the three main towns -
St. George's, Hamilton, King's Wharf - gorged on the fabulous food, took in the first-rate
entertainment, and generally had a leisurely vacation.

I carried with me a column I'd written in 1972 for The Bermuda Recorder,
planning to enter the newspaper office and demand of the editor why he had changed one word
without my permission. Alas, the paper was no longer in business!






At St. George's, our ship docked alongside a Celebrity Cruise ship. 

In this area, pirates used to rescue people from one side of their shipwrecked boats but stole their ship's contents from the other side. 
About 60% of the population are descended from enslaved people.





We saw the fabulous homes of Ross Perot, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Kirk Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, etc.
 I particularly enjoyed seeing where Eugene O'Neill had lived.

We took a trolley around part of Bermuda.
