A funny, informative read

I read this book when a family member moved there and found it very interesting and funny. My family member loved it and found many useful tips in the book for living in Bermuda.

Fun-to-read useful tips for living in Bermuda

This is an absolute must-read for anyone planning to live in Bermuda! It was fun to read in the first weeks I was on the island, when I still thought it couldn't all be true. But it is. The mould, the cockroaches, the ants, the humidity... In the three and a half years I have been living in Bermuda I experienced most of it. Yes, you do have to put salt in the fridge and rice doesn't work to keep it dry. You need a big fridge in Bermuda to store anything save from ants (sugar, candy, marmalade) and bugs (pasta) and to keep it dry (salt, flour, cookies). Every time I saw the mould on my leather couch, jacket and shoes it reminded me of Tracey's words: keep it moving... (Ventilation is key too.) And yes, my hair was curlier because of the high humidity. But that wasn't the worst thing about it. You start appreciating winter just because it's less humid and you don't sweat with every step you take... But it gets cold in winter too. However, I never sat reading in the walk-in closet like Tracey did because it was the warmest place in the house. I wish I had had a walk-in closet... Thank you very much Tracey for all those useful tips! How I miss Bermuda... Jeannette

Well written combination of thoughtfull advice and humor

Excellent reading for people planning to visit Bermuda, live there, or simply for those who travel the globe via armchair. Tracey deals with the everday trials and tribulations of life in a way that avoids painting a negative potrait of this island paradise but has enough guts to stress the importance of being able to cope. Well done Tracey! very entertaining!. I can't wait to visit!.

It doesn't get more real than this book!

After reading Tea with Tracey (before my first visit to Bermuda), I thought Tracey MUST be exagerating! After my umpteenth visit and now doing business in Bermuda, I say Kudos! Tracey couldn't have expressed it better! I strongly recommend this wonderful humourous book to anyone considering moving to Bermuda! What a treat!

Help at last for anyone moving to a warm climate

Anyone who has ever moved (or is thinking of moving) to a new country will find this book invaluable. Tracey gives much needed advice on survival and goes right to the nitty-gritty of everyday life. Especially fascinating for people interested in Bermuda, this guide is a must-read for anyone moving to a different culture and climate.
