Funny you should ask that. My husband and I went to St. John, USVI many years ago with another couple. The wife brought along Middlemarch and didn't want to do anything other than lie in a hammock and read. I'm all for reading, but there we were right by the most gorgeous ocean with options for kayaking, sailing or swimming, not to mention sightseeing or shopping, for Pete's sake! She finally joined us for an outing or two, but it was kind of humorous to think she flew all that way just to sit and read. I'd at least want to go for a walk or put my toes in the water. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-70383259767140427732014-03-24T11:37:29.648-04:002014-03-24T11:37:29.648-04:00So excited that you're enjoying some beautiful...So excited that you're enjoying some beautiful weather!
