Westward Ho! Arizona, Here We Come!
I feel like a juggler, balancing all those plates in the air – and then he starts adding items until he is just a whirl of motion keeping everything going.

Road Trip! South Walton Girlfriends Getaway
Bemused, I gazed at my bright pink, freshly pedicured toes. The pedicure was lovely but what was truly, truly lovely was the view I had over my toes, resting on the end of a lounge chair on a blindingly white sand beach in South Walton, Florida.

Forward all my mail to Condo #4759 Westwinds, Sandestin, Florida. IF ONLY.
I probably should have been more impartial. When Visit South Walton so kindly sent me a list of resorts and hotels willing to have me stay for a few days (seriously, so kind of everyone) for a Girlfriends Getaway with my sister and SIL, one name jumped out at me.
