If you have kept up with my travels, you know I recently went to Bermuda for a quick trip. Bermuda won a 2018 Leisure Lifestyle Award for Best Weekend Destination, and I delivered the award to the Honorable Jahmal Simmons. I can totally understand why our readers voted Bermuda for this category, in particular. Between the crystal-clear waters, the fresh cuisine and the rum, this little slice of heaven really is the perfect distance from the East Coast in order to make a two-hour flight for a getaway to clear your mind for a bit.
This trip just so happened to fall during the 51st biennial Newport Bermuda Race. While I was there, people were sailing from Newport, Rhode Island, to right where I was in Hamilton, Bermuda, at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. The race took anywhere from three to five days depending on the size of the yacht. Needless to say, this added to the trip overall. With the largest fleet this year (265 boats to be exact), it was a colorful sight to see.

The 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair was one of the first major music festivals to offer on-site camping, allowing attendees to remain immersed in the experience without ever leaving the grounds. These days, vast stretches of summer farmland east and west of the festival site are still transformed each summer into a cultural wonderland, offering bazaars, arts and crafts, music and educational events, and camping sites, providing festival-goers with a peaceful escape into nature and allowing visitors today to experience the same landscape that welcomed 450,000 people during the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival event.
