Ellen and Jesse were very welcoming to me, the evening plaiyng the card game 31 with extended rules ;) was so awesome and the work was really manageable for me. Now I know I should focus more on training my back. If you overdo working the massage chair relaxes you, its awesome! Oh and their dog really loved me and followed me around :)
And if you first visiting an island, there is less infrastructure here than on a mainland, so have this in mind.
