ME Nothing like an island getaway to stir those creative juices. Forget about bills, taxes, work and all those other humdrum responsibilities. Awaken the artist in you. Perhaps you could… Pack a harmonica for blues on the beach. Bring a journal to record your island-inspired poems. Bring a Polaroid camera and scrapbooking materials for instant memories. Grab binoculars to launch your new birding hobby. Video your fishing experience on Palma Sola Bay. Load your IPOD® with that audio book you’ve been trying to finish. Color pencil sketch those vivid sunsets and pastel seascapes. Brush up on your French with a language tape. Don’t forget a sack for your new shell collection. COMFORT INN 580 – 66th St. Ct.
