I love to travel. Some destinations leave an “I’m glad we went, but no need to go again” feeling. And then others have me thinking about a return visit before arriving home!
So what creates our connection to certain locations? Is it vacation memories from childhood? The environment? The people? The accommodations?
I grew up in the high dunes section of Avalon. That explains why I am drawn to the woods/beach combination (Kiawah Island, SC and Carmel, CA are 2 favorites that come to mind). And we live on a low key island year round, so Lana’i (Hawaii) with a population of 2,800 seemed just right.
I often hear tenants and owners say they take a deep breath as they cross over the bridge into town- instant relaxation. Avalon and Stone Harbor have the qualities that bring families to our island year after year.
Those of us who live here understand…and appreciate our unique surroundings.
