What to pack?
 
We are headed to Bermuda later this week. Do I need to pack a jacket and tie for my husband? What about the kids--two boys (15 & 11) do I need to pack a tie for them?

Depends on where you are staying. 3 ties do not take up much room so I wld toss 'em in anyway just to be sure. Or, buy them there if required. Ditto for the jacket.
Enjoy Bermuda! Lucky you!! :) :)

When we go to Bermuda, my husband does bring a jacket, but no ties. I agree with wow - the ties won't take up any room if you'd feel better bringing them in case. We never bring jackets for our boys though (14 & 12). I just make sure they have collared shirts. Most of the time they even wear khaki shorts. If you have any question about a specific restaurant, you should contact them directly for their policy. We have never had a problem. We are headed there in two weeks! Can't wait! Hope you have a great time!

Yes ceratin restaurants require a tie & jacket so I'd pack them just in case. I know a restaurant in South Hampton Princess & at the Elbow Beach did have this policy. Have a great time.... you will love Bermuda!

Thanks for the information. Can any of you recommend any restaurants for us?

At the Elbow Beach we ate at both Cafe Lido & the Seahorse Grill & loved the food & ambience at both places. At the Fairmont Southampton Princess we ate at the Newport Room- the food & service was exceptional but it is a bit upscale (snooty) & jackets were required (dont know if it would be a good place to take kids) Enjoy Bermuda!
