Thank you all for your kind words and good thoughts. It really has been a lovely trip in every way - good friends, good weather, good food, good digs - could it get any better? Longer? Maybe, but better? I don’t think so and since DH is barely good with two weeks we’d probably end up doing separate vacations if I pushed for longer trips. Be happy is my motto and it helps!
Respectfully,
