I sent a box from Hawaii to the Canary Islands and it took six months for it to get there with an expensive import fee!

Lawrence Durrell
…I once found a list of diseases as yet unclassified by medical science, and among these there occurred the word Islomania, which was described as a rare but by no means unknown affliction of spirit. There are people…who find islands somehow irresistible. The mere knowledge that they are on an island, a little world surrounded by the sea, fills them with an indescribable intoxication. These born “islomanes”…are direct descendents of the Atlanteans
Lawrence Durrell, Reflections on a Marine Venus: A Companion to the Landscape of Rhodes
