The Veendam has been docked in Hamilton, Bermuda since Tuesday. When we are in port, we don’t have conference sessions generally, so that folks have time for sightseeing and excursions.
The most popular spot amongst the geek cruisers: the iStore, Bermuda’s premier Apple retailer. It’s only one block from the ship! Â (46 Reid St. between Burnaby and Parliament).
A home away from home for Mac geeks.
Don’t worry, Philip and Greg. I am not moving to Bermuda and getting a job at the iStore. :-)
The iPad is not officially for sale in Bermuda yet, so these demo models have been played with a lot.
Here are a couple Danish guys I met while hanging out doing some email. After talking to me for 10 minutes, they are ready to place their orders. If only Apple paid commission!
The iStore folks threw a nice party for us at Flanagan’s the night before we are to leave Bermuda. Typical Mac geeks, everyone brought their iPhones AND iPads. Here’s Jason Snell of Macworld and Trish Mulvihill of DC Comics (right) sharing their favorite games.
You too can travel to exotic ports of call to hang out in the local Apple Store with your fellow Mac geeks. In fact, many of the group have done some exciting non-Mac-related activities like swimming with porpoises (Rich & Kerri) or going scuba diving for the first time (Andy). No matter how geeky or adventurous you are, check out Capt. Neil Bauman’s offerings on Insight Cruises. Next trip is to Patagonia in February 2011 (too close to Macworld for me…).
