Pending good weather, how often do you fly to Sable? Can you provide information about getting there and back? Must put that on my "to-do" list. Thanks for popping into view Debbie!

Wendy Kitts by Debbie Brekelmans http://sandraphinney.com/writinglife/author-author-wendy-kitts/comment-page-1/#comment-1877 Debbie Brekelmans Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:04:19 +0000 http://sandraphinney.com/?p=1059#comment-1877 Interesting to see how Wendy came to write her book, but it is worth noting that the government does not presently limit the number of visitors to Sable Island - the cost and weather do that. I fly the Sable Island aircraft and have never heard of anyone who made a request to visit Sable get turned down. Having said that, there are lots of folks who book and can't go because of weather, and since they are usually from away, they can't sit in Halifax for a week or two, so they end up cancelling altogether.

Tortola is pretty special, as is Smugglers Cove. We are returning this year and I'm so looking forward to being on this gentle island with everything she has to offer. Hope you can return soon too.

But the casual cigar box and the relaxing view live on in my heart . I returned last February(2011) and was sadden to see that the self service bar was gone along with the pristine environment . Now there are great BBQ meals and drinks served seaside but for some reason there are not enough trash cans to keep the place as lovely as it once was. I did get a kick out of a bird immediately helped itself to my rice and beans when I put my plate down to make a comfortable seat . I love Tortola . Thank you for posting your experience and thoughts. I remember Bob Dennison and the Continental from my visit at the end of January 1998.I was not fortunate enough to talk with Nell.

Too funny. Now ... about your question. No, I haven't had my second tattoo yet. Mainly because I had two hip operations and have been read the riot act about not getting infections. But it's been a year now and I think I'm safe. Ask me again in a couple of months. haha. Glad you dropped into my blog. I'm 8 weeks behind in my postings but will be getting back on track on Monday. Life sure is full. Merilee, your story made me laugh. Too funny. Now … about your question. No, I haven’t had my second tattoo yet.
