There is truly nothing like Island Life.

I have read this site each night and I'm a main lander and I have everything you all have mentioned living on the islands. I live on a town road, but do not hear or see a car as I live way in the woods away from it, but enjoy the water and sitting on the pier looking at the stars. When I need fire wood all I need to do is pick up the phone and it is delivered without waiting for certain time of the year, when I need the septic tank pumped, again it is just a phone call away and they're pumping within an hour. A big thing also is, when unexpected company comes it is alot easier to get to the store and get what is needed to fill their tummy's, it being liquid and/or solid. I hate to say it, but I think I have the best of the 2 worlds.
