I got a phone call from a friend last night telling me that he and his wife are planning to spend a weekend at Monhegan Island this July, and they want us to go with them. I really don’t want to go; I’ve gone to Monhegan twice before and had a miserable time. I understand that lots of people think it is charming to take a ferry over rough water to a remote island that has no cars, and no electricity but every time I’ve gone there I absolutely hated it! I got seasick on the trip over, and I was bored to death when we got there. There is no form of entertainment there other than walking, biking, and reading! Not my idea of fun at all!
I told them that I appreciated the offer but that we were not the “Monhegan Island” type of vacationers. I’d much rather go to an amusement park of some kind!
