I was feeling a bit island deficient, but when I thought it I've actually visited quite a few. Key West, as you know, Lucy, and thanks to you! Puerto Rico, Grand Bahama, Vancouver Island, the San Juans, Alcatraz. Oh, and Skye, which is so beautiful. I'd love to visit again, and to some other Scottish island. The Isle of Wight is on my bucket list, too.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28554132437786741082021-10-23T15:39:55.236-04:002021-10-23T15:39:55.236-04:00Wonderful, Hank!Wonderful, Hank!Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-5656094021114032992021-10-23T14:34:09.851-04:002021-10-23T14:34:09.851-04:00Have just read Chapter 1 of Unsafe Haven, Lucy/Rob...Have just read Chapter 1 of Unsafe Haven, Lucy/Roberta.
