Bermuda

There's a lot to love in the emerald isles, 650 miles from North Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, during the off-season, you'll like Bermuda even more for lower prices and smaller crowds.

Without summer's tourist crush, you can enjoy the friendly toot of ferry horns on the harbor and the call of the kiskadee, a local songbird. Lush gardens bloom in the winter, too, with displays of oleander and poinsettia trees.
