Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the rainy weather - that's disappointing if you were going for some sun and warmth. We go to the Caribbean almost every February (it's hubby's "sacred cow") for several weeks. The past couple of years we've had at least one whole week that has been cold and rainy for days at a time...we always feel badly for anyone vacationing there for just that week!

Anyway, I know what you mean about missing this place when you're away...it really does become an integral part of your life, doesn't it!
