That trip to the mainland is just as exhausting and unreliable. The saving grace for me is that we're on the big island, so all of our amenities are close by. It is family on the mainland I miss so much. It is a two-hour drive to catch the ferry in Nanaimo, two hours on the ferry, then the drive to wherever we're going on the mainland. Add to that another four hours to get back (plus waiting times in the ferry parking lot) and the trip drains the life out of us. Bridges! Bridges are good. If they can build one to PEI, then why not to the mainland?

Beautiful! I want to visit now. I lived on Ishigaki and Okinawa island for four years. Absolutely beautiful places and I miss living on islands. Now I live on “the 9th island” in the middle of the Mojave desert. But I so miss being near the water.
