It’s a gorgeous day with cerulean skies. But it’s also cold and windy by the shore: I thought my fingers would frozen off when I took photos.
The Matinecock Point isn’t accessible because the gate to the beach is closed. During the warm time, I think one can.
Dosoris Pond is on the southern side of the island. Dosoris Island, also called Salutation Island, was once a home to two generations of Morgans, John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. (JP) and his son Junius Spencer Morgan.

My first experience with this tour operator begun in 2021, to Turkey. For some reason, Turkey proves to be untrainable for me, since 1984.
Booking the tour is a bit of struggle: the site Gate 1 Travel isn’t function well. When I wake up this morning, it still Applying Payment..
I called, and after 18 minutes wait, the rep says that after the long pandemic hibernation, they’re slowly waking up. Yes, the site has bugs. He helped to book my tour and honored the $560 discount that was expired last night – which is why I signed up as quickly as I could. The total is off but I feel it’s ok, give them some time to work it out.
The single room supplement is $700 for the trip. After finding a roommate, they reimbursed me. The roommate signed up two days later but since we use the same reservation number, I asked the company to offer her the same discount because she would see mine – they agreed. This made my roomy very happy.
