Dreaming of places I've been and places I places I want to go...Image 5 takes me back to my 17th birthday while living in Venezuela my parents told me to 'pack a bikini'. We arrived at a small local airport in Puerto La Cruz where there was a small 6 seater plane. Just us and the pilot we got on the plane, and started the journey where at this point I still didnt know where I was going...most disconcerting. 40minutes or so later we touched down on La Tortuga (named because the island looks like a turtle from the sky). The runway on La Tortuga consisted of a sandy stretch with shells lining the edge. This was the closest to a deserted island I have ever been, there was only a few huts on the whole island and most people get there by boat. We stayed in a small posada (the only one on the island) with sandy floors. The rest of the weekend was spent drinking beer, sunbathing and swimming in the crystal clear and bright turquoise ocean, one of the most beautiful and relaxing birthdays (minus 21st when we went to deserted island no. 2).
Oh yes and we saw a plane crash into the ocean...much like image 5.
