Welll, I am going to Tampa Bay, Florida, which apparently isn’t near the ocean so let me rephrase and say I am going to the bay!! Woot, woot.

The ideal circusmtances for a Florida getaway would involve me, some charming gentleman, a villa on the water..and so on…. The reality is more, me, my mom and my cousins in their house in the suburbs, but I don’t care. It is going to be sun, and palm trees, and no more frickin’ snow (for four days)….Thought I would have to wait until my Machu Picchu trek for any sunlight but no, I am going to get my Vitamin D, American-style!

Aaah, the sun… I think I remember the sun… but I’m not sure. Windowless office plus sunrise at 7:30am and sunset at 4pm means that that yellow orb in the sky has been more of a theoretical concept than a reality for me these past few weeks. No matter. No matter.
