What an interesting collection of island destinations. Lots of them are on my wish list too, and after reading all your wonderful ideas my wish list has grown even longer! <BR/><BR/>I’m just about to leave to take my kids down to the Sussex countryside to spend the day with my Dad. He’s 80 next month, but you wouldn’t believe how he can still chase round after them on their bikes! When I get back I’m going to give some serious thought to picking the winner, but after reading your posts I know I won’t manage to settle on just one. <BR/>Have a great weekend everyone and thanks again for all your fabulous ideas. Plenty of daydreaming material for me! <BR/><BR/>All the very best,<BR/>Natalie RiversAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-31467976253248629252007-06-23T09:38:00.000+01:002007-06-23T09:38:00.000+01:00I think any Island would work because when it come...I think any Island would work because when it comes to making it a romantic getaway it's who you bring that makes it romantic.

What an enormous thrill. I don't think anything quite beats it.<BR/><BR/>I've been reading the responses to your post and there are so many wonderful islands I'd love to visit. There seems to be something so special about an island that appeals to adventurer in us all. My son has already decided he's going to live on one! <BR/><BR/>My own island-visiting list is enormous but I'd definitely have to include the Tahitian islands in there. The combination of pristine white sand and crystal clear water, the lush rainforest and the steep mountains make it look so exotic. Add to that the French patisseries I hear are there...Sounds like heaven!<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>AnnieAnnie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-1879857892969211182007-06-22T23:17:00.000+01:002007-06-22T23:17:00.000+01:00Congrats Natalie!
