Lex described my view perfectly. There is nothing like that first blast of tropical air smack in the middle of a gray and freezing rain blowing sideways kind of winter. The New England coast is pretty dern special in the summer and the summer is about 5 minutes long. We rarely want to leave home the...

Call me a cynic but can the naked pec photo be far behind?

Fantastic photos Islandchef!! Is that a blue heron?

Just gorgeous CG!! I was able to tag along with 86 who had a conference in Scottsdale last week. We managed to take a ride up into the Tonto National Forest. I'll download my photos when I get a second today and put them up. They too are having a great spring of wildflowers. I wish we had more time ...

WoW! Talk about a room with a view! Love that shot out the window of the boat. Great so far.....looking forward to more.

Oh those photos bring back warm memories! Both times we went were in September. The weather was spectacular.

Love that little fella in the life jacket. Great start! Looking forward to more. 10-12 feet???? I feel faint

Great shots PA Girl. That view of Peter Bay is just beautiful. Could you talk a little about your impressions of Rivendale...the house itself? I read in your report that the hike up and down to the beach was a challenge. What about the house/pool/amenities? It looks gorgeous on the website. Aside fr...

And then there's that!!

That's a gorgeous shot on your avatar MB!

The night we were there they were only serving appetizers but my 10 year old loved the French Onion soup on the app menu. With a salad it makes a great meal and he'd have room for that amazing chocolate souffle.

LMG, we did it just the way Canuck did on a couple of visits. Flew into Shannon, rented a car then spent the night in the charming village of Adare to catch our breath. Then we continued south to the Killarney Lakes then on to the Dingle Peninsula (Ryan's Daughter was filmed there)...just spectacula...

I love seeing your California photos CG, and the other photos from where others live. Marcia, that lake sounds so serene in the spring....hope you post another when the flowers bloom. I have longed to visit Colorado ever since Dan Fogelberg wrote Aspen. That's a great shot of the city, TS. The only ...

How about getting one of those beach chair/backpack combo things?

Funny you should mention that. We were thinking the same thing and further thinking a backpack cooler would be a good idea, too. The ones we found on island were too small.

You'll recognize the ferry dock from all of the photos. As you approach the end of the dock, if you look just to the right you'll see the little patch of beach in front of St John Spice/Kids. Look up on that balcony and you'll see the webcam. It will take a couple of minutes for the guys to unload t...

What a nice thing to do for your mom. When should we look for your sandscrip?
