Thanks for the reminder, Tom...winter can indeed be too short, as far as skiing is concerned.

We often wrestle with the go-somewhere-warm-this-winter-or-not? thought. It'd be nice, but I couldn't live full time somewhere where there's no change of seasons. I'd miss the winter experience here of being able to sail on the ocean in the morning, and ski in the mountains later in the day...

But please keep posting the tropical ocean pics...sounds perfect right now!
