Feel the island breeze
don’t mix work with holiday
make the fun thorough
A lesson learned: when you are on holiday, slow down on the business and pleasure combo. A lappy is also too much detail for hats, spun rayon skirts and flip flops. Those are my sad knees on the screen. By the time I thought of dumping work, my friends were too far off the other side of Elephant Island.

According to the Phrontistery, nesiote is an obscure word. But defined, nesiote sounds as modern as can be. It means living on an island. My family trooped to an island for a reunion last year.
This is part of the Fisherman’s Village on Elephant Island in Thailand. Nesiote probably applies best to fishermen who live here –
Albert Einstein wishes that “somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.”
Laurie Anderson claims: “as a New Yorker, I’m someone who lives on an island and looks across to America.”
George Gordon Byron in a letter to Thomas Moore mentions “the greenest island of my imagination.”
This was rather a grey morning but my reverie was full of bright colors as I maneuvered these rocks. A world-class violinist washes up on shore. Ladies in Lavender fades to a fact: I just love island – living during holidays.
