Gracie,

Don't feel bad - I never did either and if it hadn't been for the fact our car was vandalized in a beach parking lot quite a few trips back, I probably still wouldn't take my cell phone to the beach either. I go on vacation to get away from phones, but that incident did teach me a valuable lesson.

And I didn't read any sarcasm in your response either........ <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
