Spring is a lovely time to travel to Bermuda, especially for couples: the island isn't overrun with Spring Breakers or families, and while it's not beach weather per-se, you can reliably expect temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s and plenty of sun.
Two of the best resorts in Bermuda also are offering some special deals this spring:
The Reefs resort's Spring Fling offer, available all April, includes four nights in an oceanview room, daily breakfast, tea, and dinner for two, champagne upon arrival, a three-day bus/ferry pass, and airport transfers. Package rate starts at $2,465. Book Now
Looking to travel during Easter Week? Starting at $445 per night April 2-10, you can get a oceanfront junior suite at the Pink Beach Club, and families traveling with children can get a second room at half-off. Rates include full English breakfast, afternoon tea and a five-course dinner daily. Easter activities include a kite-making demonstration, sunrise Easter services and breakfast, and an egg hunt.

Today's New York Times has a useful update on
Haiti -- as the story slowly fades from the headlines, the needs in Haiti continue to be enormous, but aid has been sporadic and incomplete despite the efforts of the international community. Haitians themselves are determined to rebuild their country but still need a lot of help:

For some Caribbean travelers, Spring Break is a time to cut loose after a long, cold winter; others seek a more meaningful way to spend their vacation by doing service work.
The Westin St. John Spring Break Volunteer Program offers a bit of both: guests who spend a day volunteering at the nearby Virgin Islands National Park will receive a $100 resort credit as a 'thank-you' for helping to maintain park trails and cleaning up beaches during March and April.
Guests who volunteer also will get free transfers from the resort to the park, just 10 minutes away. To sign up, visit the Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park website. Room rates at the Westin start at $219 nightly.
