Nostalgic, yes. But you are whetting my excitement. Since I have finally
gotten paid, no back pay yet but regular is good for now, the trip is
confirmed. Can you imagine? I'm a teacher since the beginning of the school
year and I just got my first paycheck! I love new computer finance systems!

Of course! $50 a night in a clean bed. Not too great on ambience but I
won't be there much anyway!

Just the thought of sun is warming my toes right now. I come home to Texas
for Christmas and got rain and more rain, what's up with that! Two years
with no sun makes Ysabeau a pale girl!
Are you recommending the American beach or any others?
