Default Get Lost

There is an island we use to go to in the keys called Little Palm Island. Their phone number was 1-800-Gert-Lost
You needed to take a boat to get to it. It was where PT109 was filmed. Lots of history on the island. Kennedy stayed there and his father had electricity run to the island. He did not want his son to be disturbed by a generator. I started going there back in the 80's. To make a call, I had to tell the radio operator 24 hours in advance. At the time of the call I'd go into the out house, since redone, and wait for the phone to ring.
Fun place.
