Sorry Gabby.  Couldn't do that trip.  Along with a major fear of
heights, I can't breathe well at altitudes over 5,000 ft.  However, I
have experienced a monkish environment  here in the high deserts of
the Southwest.  Very healthful, mentally and spiritually.

Vam, I'm sorry but I think you're seeing conspiracies in the mirror.
Jekyll island is in Glynn County, Georgia and while it is an island in
the Atlantic Ocean it's not as isolated as the piece implies.  It's
part of the U.S. and can be reached by rowboat, causeway or plane.  It
has a golf club and a few resorts.  And yes, Jekyll Island resorts
drew the elite for a number of centuries and it is a great part of our
history.  It is also the place where the wealth elite gathered to plan
out a global economy that was not tied to gold but rather based on the
actual value of a nation's production and consumption.  It was the
precursor to Bretton Woods.  Now if you want to get into conspiracy
theories, Bretton Woods has spawned far more than Jekyll Island.  It's
just that Jekyll Island has a much spookier name and thus gets more
press.
