Just seems like a perfect vacation. At the time of my divorce, I was just wanting to leave. I don't remember how Ascensoin landed on my radar, but I started looking into it more and more and it seemed like a great place to start over in.

Easter was pretty awesome. It's a tiny island, only maybe a dozen miles from tip to tip on the longest axis. But it's very pretty and you'd see those statues all over the place, which are way cool. There'd be a farmer's pasture with grazing animals, and it would have a moai on it.
If you want an exotic vacation, it's actually not as hard to reach as one would think. It never even occurred to me to try, but when I was planning a trip to Peru I happened to see an airfare from Lima, and it was only about $900 and a four or five hour flight. I couldn't resist.
