Friday Five - Getaway Island Edition


We snitched a bit of time on an quiet island nearby this week. It was a last minute plan, escaping with a minimal amount of preparation. One must have essentials that make it a relaxing time. Perhaps you have had this opportunity to escape, or maybe it's only been a thought to get away. However, suppose you were told to pack some essentials for a trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Describe your location, in general or specific terms and....

1) What book(s) will you bring?
2) What music accompanies you?
3) What essentials of everyday living must you take (as in the health and beauty aids aisle variety)?
4) What technological gadgets if any, will you take with you or do you leave it all behind?
5) What culinary delights will you partake in while there?

As a bonus question, what makes for a perfect day on vacation for you?

As always, let us know in comments if you play. Even better, get in the habit of posting a direct link to your blog entry in your comment, using the following formulation:
<a href="the url of your blog post goes here">what you want the link to say goes here</a>

    on retreat(of sorts) now, reading and gardening ...and NOT blogging ... it's like an island getaway in a way without the hassle of packing or travelling and so needed.

    bless REV GALS who mentally getaway in the FF ... enjoy the sun and shade on the island :)

    Boy, I am in a hurry--I forgot to post my destination, just my take- alongs. Probably because an island--or any other scenic spot by the ocean--suits me just fine.
