Islands in the Sea and Sky – Indie Travel Challenge
This Week’s prompt for the Boots’N'All Indie Travel Chellenge revolves around islands as travel destinations. I quite like islands.

In the past few years, I have island hopped in Greece and Croatia on cruises and spent a day on Hong Kong Island on the way to New Zealand, also islands.

Indie Travel Challenge – Week 1 : Planning
Over at Boots’n'All they are running a year of Indie Travel Prompts. One of my year’s resolutions is to write more and practice more at it. This includes blogging as well as the book that I have been chipping away at for nearly a year. This seems like a decent enough challenge, so here goes.
