Travelling solo is an empowering opportunity to become more in touch with yourself—to build confidence and to learn what is important to you. Nothing makes you feel more present than finding out what it is you want and caring for your needs. One of my favorite spots for a solo weekend getaway is San Juan Island. It’s close, yet feels far away from it all. It’s safe and offers fun activities for every mood and every budget. Come explore and find yourself.
2018 was a killer whale of a year on San Juan Island. There was such good news and such sad news, amazing sightings, innovative, never-before tried actions, but maybe most importantly the whales of the Salish Sea were on everybody’s mind.
A weekend getaway to San Juan Island, with its breathtaking nature, astonishing wildlife and rich culture, always feels like a world away. Even more so in the off season.
We had a tumultuous Summer, my husband and I--involving teenaged kids, aging grandparents, a health scare, several moves. Events which challenged the way we think of ourselves, our way to handle crisis, to evaluate what’s worth doing in life and how to appreciate what we have.
"What a delightful place to stay!...
The staff is wonderful and the little extras
make it a comfortable place to stay."
