The Unfinished Church

Bermuda.

The Unfinished Church — Like J.R. Kendall Meander through the cobblestone streets of St. George, Bermuda, and you'll spot the Unfinished Church high up on a nearby hilltop. Constructed in the 1870s, this crumbling Gothic structure was originally intended to replace St. Peter's Church. Religious arguments, financial troubles, and a powerful hurricane contributed to the eventual halt to construction. A captivating historic monument, the Unfinished Church leaves behind ghostly remnants of giant limestone and mortar, high point-arch doorways, and clustered columns.

Botanic Gardens at Kona Kai Resort

Key Largo, FL.

The lush foliage Do not be alarmed by the overly friendly squirrels. They only want a little head scratch and maybe a peanut or ten. In this quiet little patch of Florida, you may be tempted to do very little; trust that instinct. Tracey can arrange for fishing, snorkeling, and other excursions, but the best way to enjoy Kona Kai is to forget all about the Overseas Highway you took to get there. The fridge by the pool is stocked with fresh fruit from the garden and bottled water. And as you lounge, a fresh coconut with a straw will be delivered to you to replenish the electrolytes spent wondering how to ditch your real job and get a staff position here. Rick, the resident botanist will happily guide you through the extensive botanical garden and orchid house, and by the end of your stay you will be surprisingly fluent in Latin—and squirrel.
