Sorry to emphasize that I'm leaving all of you above 35N latitude to the cold and ice, but in 36 hours I'll get to walk my nekid skinny butt down this bit of sand:
A deserted beach in the Abacos, no internet, no cell towers, no hustlers, no fences, no "all inclusive" resort crap, no traffic. Tiny waves quietly landing on the beach as the best indication of passing time. Last week I was in Alaska and the temp was -30F, so this is the reward. The 100 degree temperature change between the two places is amazing. I will, of course, spend quite a bit of time commiserating with you about your ice-bound lives, so it won't be all Mai-Tais and the agony of tan lines.

Sounds georgeous!
Yes more to come on the writing front. Thanks for the appreciative words. Glad that it fell not onto deaf ears.I wish that past entries could be accessed from the journals. But oh well I guess it doesnt work that way.
Enjoy and dont forget to wear sunscreen
Happy Valentines Day!
