May 2011 Design Island Contest

[combatlizzy]

My dream island would be one of ultimate leisure and recreation. I would have a shack of sorts-not elaborate, but filled with things to meet my needs.

Must Have’s
A hammock strung between two trees for relaxing after a hard day of pirating.
A rum cellar, of course, that would keep the grog at the proper temperature for sipping while reposing in the hammock.
A room with a cot and the capability to display any treasure that I so desired. And a large closet for my clothes since Lizzy is a fanatic about new apparel. A sturdy desk is also a must to study maps & to write in my pirate journal which hopefully would be published someday.
I would have a mascot-maybe an Amazon parrot or a Meer Kat or two. Amazon parrots have a very large vocabulary which could work against me-LOL. Meer Kats are great look-outs.
This island would have a rather large hovel in which my guild mates & friends could gather to chat about-well-pirating-their adventures, their tall stories, maybe even the legendary fish that got away.

Want to Have
I would definitely want to establish a pub of sorts away from my shack for dancing, cards, & a bit of music to soothe a pirate’s ears.
There would be wild flowers through the island and the chirping of tropical birds in the trees. Said trees would bear fruit savory and tempting to any pirate’s palate.
The shore would consist of a beach of white sand catching the subtle waves that caressed it.

No Way
No enemy would set foot upon this island of mine causing havoc & destruction. After all, it would be a place of rest from endless days of pirating….
