Friday morning I left San Francisco at 6 am and thanks to Mr. B, he got me to the airport by 4:30! Right on time.
My girlfriends Jackie & Sydney & I were heading to Nantucket via Boston!
Big thunderstorms were in Boston so we had a a bit of a bumpy ride for awhile.
We gathered our luggage and headed outside to call for an Uber to take us to Hyannis.
It was 92 degrees and the air was so humid you could cut it with a knife.
We had a hard time breathing - it was like being in a wet sauna.
After a two hour drive in traffic - it’s Friday and everyone is heading to the coast to cool off - we arrived in beautiful Hyannis. This is the view from the ferry dock.
We had a quick dinner in the harbor and our boat arrived right on time - 7:30.
The sun was setting just as we were settling onto the boat.
There were a number of dogs on board but this little cutie was sitting next to us and he was a perfect
gentleman albeit a little slobbery.
And after a warm but wind-whipped ride we arrived on the little island of Nantucket.
She shone like a sparkling necklace in the evening fog.
It was Friday night and there was a lot of activity in the quaint little downtown area. The line wrapped around the block for the Juice Bar as it was still quite warm.
Our driver took us about 10 minutes out of town, then cut down a dirt road, then a long dirt driveway and deposited us and our luggage at a lovely shingled cottage in a forest.
The lights had been turned on earlier by the caretaker and it was so warm & welcoming.
The first thing we all did after taking a tour of the house was to take ice cold baths & showers.
Above most of the interior doors are ivory carved whales.
I can’t wait to show you around the island tomorrow!
