A Bermuda Family Vacation, circa 1968

Recently, we were lucky enough to virtually meet one of our past guests, Dara, online via our hotel's Facebook page.  She let us know that her family will be celebrating her parents 50th wedding anniversary next month in Bermuda. What's so neat about Dara's story is that the last time she travelled to Bermuda with her parents she was only 17 months old!  We couldn't resist asking Dara to share her Fairmont memories with us, and this is what she had to say:

We recently came across these photos. I believe they are all from the Fairmont Hamilton Princess--please correct me if I'm wrong. My parents, grandparents, and I visited there from July 31st - August 5th, 1968. I was 17 months old. Believe it or not, I remember those windows in the dining area!

My parents and my husband and I have returned to Bermuda several times since then; most recently my husband and I stayed at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. At that time, the dining room at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess was closed for renovation. We're looking forward to seeing it again next month!

My mom and dad will be married 50 years tomorrow. We're celebrating with a big party this weekend, and then taking them on a cruise to Bermuda the next weekend. We'll be arriving on the Celebrity Summit. While Mom and Dad are staying onboard the ship, my husband and I are looking foward to spending two nights at the Fairmont Southampton.  We offered to get them a room at the hotel as well, but, when you're almost 70 years old, I guess packing & unpacking for two nights is too much work.  Instead, we got them to agree to come spend the day with us -- golfing and beaching it!

You can clearly see the joy and love, for Bermuda, for the experience at the hotel, and for each other, on all of our faces!  Looking forward to next month!
