UnRelaxed -- I felt the same way when you wrote that you were going to the South of France a few months ago.

Emily -- It was heavenly! I've never thought of Florida as paradise (sorry, Floridians!), but just being away on a beach with absolutely no agenda other than to go to my favorite beach bar for a grouper sandwich was delightful!

Oh, wow. You poor thing. How will you ever get all that taxing relaxation done in the time allotted to you? Best of luck with it. ;-)
