The second to last stop on our island hopping tour is part of an archipelago of islands off the coast of Washington which offers many family adventures from whale watching to zip lining…let’s head out to:
San Juan Island
San Juan Island is
the ideal starting point for exploring all of the nearby islands (there is an
inter-island ferry service to Orcas and Lopez Islands). To reach San Juan Island by boat, car ferries leave from Anacortes, WA and passenger ferries are available from Seattle. For a truly memorable experience, take a sea plane directly into Friday Harbor, the main town on San Juan Island.

And, finally, this afternoon we will wrap up island hopping week with my sentimental favorite…Maui
(it is where I went on my honeymoon!)
I WANT TO GO THERE NOW. Oh Sandy, thank you for these "free" passes to another world! Anita
I have enjoyed your informative posts about these gorgeous islands. The first photo is stunning. I'm attracted especially to Catalina Island. Beautiful and relaxing – I love to visit car free islands.
PS Thanks for your lovely comment. I have worn the Geox ballerinas and they are so comfy and useful. I'm thinking of buying another pair in a different colour!
