    I changed my mind. My new favorite island is Isla Nublar, the island in Jurassic Park.

    Manhattan.


    But that's because I haven't been to Trinidad or Cape Verde. The women I've met from both sent me head over heels.

    I've been to quite a few gorgeous islands in the indian ocean and I must say the Seyshelles and Mauritius are my favorite.

    non-tropical non-urbanized islands with narrow gauge railways.

    my favorite island and archipelligo would have to be spontoon.

    i can't believe i'm having so much trouble finding what i did with my link to it, i must be visiting there much too seldom. i know its something like spontoon.rootoon.com dot something anyway, and with or without the tripple doubleues as the case might be.

    lets see, honshu is an island and of course those of new zealand.

    and sandaliotus, but that's another imaginary one, though perhapse based on corsica and crete. which are also interesting places i've never been. and the cartruts and ruins on malta.

    oh malagassi with its lemurs and sri lanka perhaps, and bali and p/n.g.

    i'm just not into the tropical thing, but i do like the idea of islands. complete minicontinents, enabling independent evolution of infrastructure tecnologies, though all too way damd many of them import cars.

    iceland and greenland too. and antarctica, and of course oz. and tasmania. and the ferrolons.

    and the san juans up by b.c., and vancouver island.

    ah, finally found it:

    i've only been to two islands that for me have been particularly memorable, though i've never traveled outside of the US and canada. the first is key west....a bit touristy and noisy, but i love it regardless. probably one of my favorite vacation spots.

    the other is vashon island, out near seattle. its great, too, with great scenery and great food and great pot and great people (though small in numbers! which i like)

    Katy, post some more pics of the Maldives after your trip, will you? That one looks awesome already. Have you ever tried one of those disposable underwater cameras with scuba diving?

    well you never really know any place until you've lived there as part of your everyday life, not just visited on vacation or imagined doing so.

    and i haven't even really visited that many.

    but i can certainly imagine one that i would love.

    it wouldn't be tropical but it would be forested and more densely forested then populated. big enough to be more forest then beach. big enough to have more then one mountain and at least one river, but small enough to be isolated from the environmental destructiveness of major economic intrests or stratagies of political ambition.

    but to actually have little trains just big enough to ride on or in but no cars or paved roads, that's what would really make it paradise for me.

    that and no building codes and people not needing to pretend to know what is not known to love and get along with all the little unseen spirits that people did not so much worship as just not want to tear up and screw up all their wonderful and beautiful little places.
