What do you do in Bermuda when it's not a "Bermudiful" day?

What do you do in Bermuda when it's not a "Bermudiful" day?

Bermuda is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean located off the east coast of the United States with its nearest US city being Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

When you think of island life, you imagine pristine beaches, clear blue water, warm weather and clear, sunny skies. Bermuda was all of the above minus the clear, sunny skies during portions the Toyota Chicago Region President's Award program in June.

Despite the weather the fisherman braved the open water; Scuba divers went down under and viewed rare shipwrecks; Golfers teed off among indescribable backgrounds and spa goers experience the true meaning of rest and relaxation.

Guests enjoyed accommodations, fine cuisine and local entertainment at Elbow Beach, a Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Hotel staff wearing Bermuda shorts with dark knee-high socks, suit jackets and ties greeted all guests with their Bermudian hospitality. It is quite the sight to see! Ask anyone of the staff members, and they will say, “Don’t leave without visiting the Swizzle Inn to enjoy one or two – Dark N’ Stormy drinks.” You will surely Swizzle in and Swagger Out!
