Did you come from Mikki Cober’s blog? Welcome.
This week’s question is from A.S. Fenichel – It’s cold in most places. What’s you’re favorite vacation spot? This can be someplace you’ve been or someplace you dream of going.
I spent a week once on Castaway Island in Fiji. The place is only accessible by boat and was so small, it didn’t have a dock large enough for us to disembark without going onto a smaller boat which brought us up onto the beach.
Our room was a hut on the beach and had a beautifully carved ceiling that almost rivaled the view of the palm trees.
My husband and I took a boat out every morning to SCUBA dive in the nearby reefs and found them to be in pristine shape. They won’t let you dive with gloves on your hands so you work real hard to not touch the coral, some of which has sharp stinging needles.
The beautiful dinners on the beach were magical and the best part of the place was I never wore shoes once when I stepped off the boat. The island will be written into a book someday, although my words will never equal the real beauty of the place.
Where in the world would the Leslie Hachtel go?
I am so jealous of you ladies who have been to these exotic looking spots! But I love that you share the beauty! Magical is the best word for it.
It really is magical, although that could be the lack of housekeeping tasks and people to cook for us as well!
Lovely, Veronica! After seeing your pictures, I want to go there!
Thanks. It was a perfect week in a million ways.
We have to co-ordinate a dive trip with our husbands sometime, Veronica!
Absolutely! Someplace tropical. I learned to dive off the coast of New England. Brrrr.
Sounds like paradise. So many places to dive, so little time! At least your hubby dives with you…
We’re in the process of getting our daughters certified. One down, one to go!
Ahhhhhh! Fiji is on my bucket list. I *will* make it there one day. Lovely!
Love the idea of places you can only reach by boat, sounds so dreamy and the perfect getaway!
