...Sharks are currently owned by an unlikely consortium that includes a Shanghai media group, a domestic airport operator and a state sports institute. According to China's official news agency, Xinhua, Yao is in the process of buying out shares from some major investors.

...western end of Bermuda, about 20 miles from the airport, is 9 Beaches, where guests sleep in cabanas - actually, air-conditioned platform tents on stilts that sit on and around the beach (some cabanas hover over the water, with viewing panels in the floor). The resort has three restaurants, and its package rates are comparable to those at the fancy resorts. For some guests (beach bums, divers and romantics) 9 Beaches' isolation is a blessing, but for others it's a hassle - once you get all the way out there, it's a real effort to go anywhere else...

...dress for dinner - for men that means Bermuda shorts, knee socks and a jacket. Not your style? Adventuresome souls can check out the local scene at out-of-the-way spots like Dennis's Hideaway (Cashew City Road; 441-297-0444) on St. David's Island, east of the airport (most places you'd want to go to are west). Dennis wears a brown paper bag for a chef's hat and serves food on plastic plates, but he makes a killer fish chowder, curried mussel stew and shark hash...

Basics. Eight airlines serve Bermuda International Airport (BDA) in Hamilton, so it pays to compare. Round-trip summer fares from the East Coast have dropped considerably, down to about $300; bargain hunters can do even better with patience. JetBlue had a recent $198 round-trip fare from New York City...

Rental cars are verboten in Bermuda - the narrow, winding roads have been deemed too dangerous. The law also prohibits hotels from providing transportation to guests to and from the airport, and taxis are expensive (the ride from the airport to 9 Beaches is $50). So, depending on the size of your group, the shuttle buses from the airport are a better deal, at about $15 per person. But smart visitors take the government-run Bermuda Breeze buses - from the airport and around the islands. Single rides cost $3; an unlimited weekly pass is $45, including ferry rides...
