Whoopee!!! I just received notification that I can take advantage of an instant transport to wherever I want to go. I selected my favorite vacation spot, an island on the East Coast, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and accessible only by air or ferry.
While this instant transport is faster, I requested a drop-off at the Ferry. For the ferry ride is the high point of my dream vacation.
Even though it is only a 15-20 minute ride, it’s the Atlantic Ocean.
And, so what if the ferry is old, dingy, and lacks the luxuries of a cruise ship, it’s the Atlantic Ocean and I am cruising.
What’s I like about the ferry ride is:
- looking up at the bright sky filled with fluffy white clouds,
- sitting on the deck with a soft gentle breeze lightly touching my skin,
- viewing the vast blue ocean, and
- communing quietly in the present moment.
So excited, I am going to my paradise, an island overflowing with:
- Happy Vacationers
- Friendly Residents
- Mom and Pop Businesses
- Brightly Painted Victorian Homes
- Quaint Bed and Breakfast Dwellings
- Cobblestone Streets
- Fresh, Fresh Seafood
- Beautiful Beaches
Yes, I am going to a serene and tranquil place reminiscent of the days before the large chain-like:
- Hotels – Sheraton, Best Western, LaQuinta
- Restaurants – McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut
- Box Stores – Sam’s, Home Depot, Ikea
- Drug Stores – Walgreen’s, CVS
- Gas Stations – 7-Eleven, Wawa, BP
- Department Stores – WalMart, Target, Macy’s
- Supermarkets – Winn Dixie, Krogers, Whole Foods
Looking forward to slowing down, being still, and welcoming the peace, happiness and joy of an Island vacation.

All I want to know is this: Is there room on the ferry for me? I wanna come! To get away from ‘it all’ would be awesome! Thank you for the reminder that it is sometimes truly the little things that matter – those things that we oftentimes take for granted.
Wonderful post with great imagery!

dear Yvonne,
oh, to just get away! I just love the way you took us through each step of the anticipation of the journey – to me, the looking forward to is just as fun as the going. but if perchance I should be so lucky as you I’d be ready to depart in a new York minute, still anticipating but more than ready to blow this pop-stand! wonderful post!
much love,
Karen xoxo

dear Yvonne, I left a comment on the post about your dear friend Rose. then all my contact info appeared on your main page and I was instructed to “go back”, which I clicked. but the comment appears to be gone. maybe just being approved? anyway, in case it’s never resurrected, please know that I am so very sorry for your loss. I know you must miss her terribly. and the title you gave that post was so powerful, and the absolute truth – “Serial Killer”. lots of warm hugs to you, karen
