Have you ever been to an island?

Question

I've only been to Catalina for a school trip in sixth grade. I didn't even want to go, so instead of just enjoying myself, I made myself miserable the whole time and tried to get out of doing certain activities. 🙄🤦‍♀️
Although, the last day of the trip actually was miserable because it rained all day and night. It rained right through everybody's tents and half of us woke up with a cold the next day. It was just awful.

If you never been on an island, you need to question, why you haven't been traveling in your life. Because there is island everywhere, you never setting a foot on one must mean you basically must have rooted yourself. I mean many cities near rivers and lakes has islands.

Throughout my life, I've traveled to numerous islands, including Catalina Island. Furthermore, I've lived on an island in Southeast Asia before.
In fact, I kept my house on that island and I intend to vacation there soon.
I'd like to buy a beach house in either Maui or Kauai.

Yeah, Tom Sawyer's Island at Disneyland. What, you didn't have a good time on Catalina? You would probably enjoy it a lot more now.

MuddyMole · Answer

Loads. I'm a sea- kayaking guide, so I spend a lot of time island hopping. I've paddled around various UK islands, and a lot of the little islands near Vancouver Island (the Discovery Islands / Broughton Archipelago / Southern Gulf Islands) as well as Haida Gwaii. I go to the Scillies every year, and have been to the Farne Islands a few times, as well as Gotland and Fårö (Sweden). Probably others I don't remember right now...

MTC29 · Answer

The smallest Island I've visited was Maiden's Tower, which is an island about the size of a tennis court situated in the Bosphorus Straight. The largest island I've visited was Australia. If you consider Australia a continent and not an island, then the UK.

By the way, I've been to Catalina and found it boring.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I'm a sail-boater in a tropic area. So you can't really avoid islands :D
I like the less large ones with no inhabitants.
My favourites until now are Langkawi Archipelago (where I also have lived a few years) - and Koh Chang Group (lived there, too :D)
