my nice little life

Well, we’re back home (earlier than we expected, due to personal considerations).   We’re tan and rested.  We didn’t gain any weight.  And we had a good time.  We spent more money than we had planned.  In fact, we spent more than we had budgeted for the entire month, even though we were only away for [...]
