G---just catching up sounds like your trip was incredible! How did it feel to get away for awhile. I have been thinking that something like that would be just what the doc ordered---although mine would have to come with a beach, sand, and unlimited drink service!!
It was great! My son's a good man: a real resourceful, determined, doing-everything-he-wants-on-his-terms kind of guy (and has been pretty much since birth!). And as mellow as the day is long. Great to see him and his beautiful corner of the world.
And it was what the doc ordered. Should be for you, too. Do it. Whatever/wherever it is, do it.
