Fantasy Island

At least part of the fun of a vacation is in the planning. I imagine people in offices in Raleigh, Washington and Cleveland taking virtual tours of rental homes on Ocracoke, checking out the fishing reports, picturing themselves in a lounger with the perfect beach book.

Tourists sometimes point out that Ocracokers live on vacation. Well, yes, and also we go to work. This morning I was a bad employee, and clicked my way through some fantasy vacations of my own, checking late season snow reports in the Rockies, pricing fares to Thailand, adding a few sailboats for sale to my "favorites" page.

For everything there is a season, and this season I intend to enjoy Ocracoke. The fantastic free Ocrafolk festival is held over the first weekend in June, close on the heels of Memorial Day gatherings. My beach chair is on permanent alert next to a bag stuffed with a towel, trashy magazines, big hat and jug of water. Summer 2010. Bring it on.

The Ocracoke is a beautiful village in the North Carolina and famous for so many attractions.

It is popular for its pristine beaches which are famous for sailing and fishing and the place has numerous activities to do for visitors.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
