On the day that I was headed out to San Diego in the evening our department had a small retreat to the island of Martha's Vineyard. Talk about quite a travel day, Boston to Falmouth, Falmouth to Martha's Vineyard, Martha's Vineyard to Falmouth, Falmouth to Boston, Boston to Phoenix, Phoenix to San Diego (It was 3AM EST when I got to San Diego)
Got up early in the morning to drive all the way to Falmouth, MA near Woods Hole (Famous for it's oceanographic institute) to hop on a boat that would take my co-workers and myself to Martha's Vineyard.

The VanGo, Is there a helicopter with a sweater on there? |
All of us on our tiny boat were googling on our phones to figure out who the owner is. Although we could not come up with a definitive answer it is a strong possibility that the owner is Ms. OWN herself Oprah Winfrey.
After a tour of Vineyard Haven we strolled right into Oak Bluffs Harbor and moored the boat to a buoy. Time to take a tour of Oak Bluffs, so um... how do I get there? We were sitting in the middle of the harbor, not being a boater, I was not sure how to do this, perhaps we swim to the docks? LOL The owners of the boat call the launch service over the radio to have a boat pick us up and drop us off at the dock. So that's how that works!!!

There was not much time to spend on the island, so two dirty bananas later it was time for lunch on the boat. I could not think of a better way to eat lunch then to sit right on the bow of the ship and soak in some rays.

A short ride to the island but also a short time to spend there too. I will have to come back to Martha's Vineyard to enjoy a little more time for some r&r at another time. 998 places to go...
