Love Thursday: Lovers’ Island

Thanks to faithful reader, Gil, here is a spectacular photo of what has been dubbed “Lovers’ Island” off the coast of Croatia:

Its amazing heart shape was discovered by viewers of Google Earth; even owner Vlado Juresko hadn’t realized before that his uninhabited island was such a perfect heart until people started requesting to stay there.

Speaking of romantic locations, if you’re looking for a nice spot to celebrate Valentine’s Day or any day, do check out two articles I recently published with the BootsnAll Travel Network:

Five Great Valentine’s Day Getaways in the USA

Six Romantic Getaways Around the World

(And feel free to give them thumbs-up, Stumble love, etc.).

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

Do you play around with Google Earth?

When I went to Croatia 12 years ago and visited the Dalmatian Coast, I thought of how it would be the perfect place for a honeymoon — so beautiful the Mediterranean and the sky, fantastic food, and even interesting history and architecture . . .although I didn’t end up going there for MY honeymoon (it was Bella Italia for us of course!).

Yeah apparently it doesn’t even *really* have a name…Lovers’ Island seems just as good as any, no?

I love to ‘home’ in on our house and that of my parents in Australia too.

Stunning island!

Such a great shot! My husband likes to get on Google Earth and check out our parents’ hometowns in Italy and see our own neighborhood here in the Philadelphia Suburbs. It’s pretty incredible how detailed it can be though!

Happy Love Thursday!

Happy Love Thursday! After my middle son comes home from school today, I am going to come back here to your site and show him this fantastic photo. He is the one who always finds and gives me heart shaped rocks… and I know he will appreciate seeing this island.
