Thanks for asking Dotsie...we went to Aruba...it was very warm and very sunny...we swam in the Caribbean each morning, then we ate yummy lunches at the beach cafe...we spent the afternoons lounging by the pool, reading, and talking to lots of friendly happy people, all on vacations like we were...fabulous dinners each night...and lots of great conversations and alone time with my husband...which I was sorely in need of...we've had an unusually busy year and we really needed some couple time...the fact that our kids gave us this trip made it extra special I think...I didn't do anything adventurous on this trip...but the relaxation time and all of the fabulous food and great weather has given me a new lease on life...Now it's back to my "healthy" diet and lots and lots of walking...
