After so much bad news and so many border closures throughout the pandemic, we’ll take good news whenever we can get it. And we’ve been getting great news lately. Every American adult is now eligible for vaccination. French Polynesia just reopened May 1. The same day, fully vaccinated Americans could enter the Bahamas without a […]
In so many ways, Bermuda stands alone. Geographically speaking, it’s by itself in the Atlantic, well to the north of the Caribbean islands it’s normally lumped in with.
