One of the local lighthouses is offering" Lighthouse Keeper" vacations, where you assume the duties of the Lighthouse Keeper for the week.

I think it would be really interesting to do for a day or so, but I can't picture myself doing this for a whole week.

Does it have an elevator to get to the top of the light house?

I wouldn't - I'd keep expecting Pete's Dragon to show up!


Besides, what would be your liability if a boat crashed onto the rocks on your watch?

I'm with you, Karen. No question it would be interesting, but I don't take a vacation to take on someone else's responsibilities -- especially in a situation where the potential exists for emergencies -- maybe not a frequent occurrence, but sure as God made little apples it would happen on my watch!
