...following Greeley's advice anytime soon, or just heading West for some skiing and sun, you might want to see more of Colorado than just Aspen and Broncoland...
Bermuda is a lot closer to Cambridge than Aspen or Ft. Lauderdale, but for most people it might well be on the other side of the world. Few people know that the island lies just off South Carolina. Most of the natives would like it to stay that way. Package tourism may be growing steadily as a key industry on the island, but the social climate there stubbornly clings to its Nantucket and Palm Springs roots...
