Welcome To Fantasy Island...Michigan?


Looking for a vacation spot this spring? Check out Mackinaw Island.

From their website...

On your first night, under an unbound sky ablaze with flirting stars, your troubles merely drift away. Waking to the sound of horse hooves on silent streets, the fail-safe plot you dreamed begins with the daylight. Wrapped in all its graces and grand passions, you’re on Mackinac Island.

O.K. Flirting stars, troubles drifting away, horse hooves and whatnot. Sounds good. A little flowery, but good. But read on my friend, read on...

Mackinac Island is the truly "all natural" theme park of America. Limited to transportation of horse and buggy, bicycle or foot, surrounded by water, it has escaped the vast changes of time.

Whoaaaa horse and buggy!!! Back up. No cars? You mean to tell me there are no freakin' cars on the whole damn island?! As Mr. Roarke would say: "Smiles, everyone... smiles!"

I must admit it's not the biggest island out there (think Catalina, only smaller), but hell, to roam the (8) streets for one day without inhaling bus fumes and dodging Hummers? I'm sold. Sign me up Tattoo.
