My first full day on Martha’s Vineyard. I flew in on a flight from Baltimore Washington International Airport to Boston on a 28-seat plane, and then transferred to an 8-seat Cessna on Cape Air from Boston to the Vineyard. I enjoyed the flight, but I have to admit it’s a little disconcerting to be able to read the instruments in the cockpit from the back seat! The luggage carousel at the Martha’s Vineyard airport was also notable…it consisted of a stationary metal angled bin that was filled by baggage handlers after they opened windows from the outside and placed the suitcases on the “carousel.”
The cottage is adorable but definitely set up for the summertime. I’m hoping I won’t freeze to death as it gets colder. The landlord, an Aussie by the name of Leigh Cormie, said he and his wife would put me up in the attic (the 3rd floor of their house next to the cottage) if it got too desolate back here.
A few initial observations:
-The people are very friendly – more like a small town than I expected.
-Most of the shops in Vineyard Haven where I live are “mom and pop” which I like. I wish more of America was like that.
-I’m eating Nutrisystem meals to help me lose weight and it’s a good thing – I can see by all the local restaurants that it would be hard not to put on weight.
-The houses here are amazing!
Tomorrow I’ll try to head for one of the public beaches.
