I have written in this space before about how things as simple as taking your pet to the vet can become day-long processes when you live on an island. Then, I was commenting on taking a trip to Manteo, which - in the grand scheme of things - isn't all that far. Tomorrow, I have to go all the way to Virginia Beach to take Savannah to a specialist vet. THAT will be a long day (it's a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive after the Hatteras ferry ride). So I will be heading to bed in a few minutes (at about 8:30 PM) in order to prepare to get up shortly before 5:00 AM, so I can be on the 6:00 AM ferry.
I'll let you know tomorrow how things went. In the meantime, sleep well and be blessed by the fact that most services are close by (most likely...obviously this doesn't apply to my Ocracoke readers!) Not that I'm complaining, mind you...I am so blessed by the fact of living on Ocracoke that the realities of driving long distances for certain services pale in comparison!
