With so many returning year after year, I knew there are just certain things you must look forward to each time that contributes to that special feeling you have when you're there - the things that always draw you back. Even if it's just getting "sand gravity"" it's part of what makes it special to you, so thank you all for sharing.

Red Piano does sound like a great time, particularly on Mondays, we will be sure to check it out. I'm glad to hear that most places wont be shut down for off season. I actually prefer traveling some place new when it's off peak season - can usually get a more authentic experience, people are more relaxed, and take time to talk. And again, not having to worry about having dinner reservations is ideal.

49 days to go....I can't wait! I haven't had a grown up (no kids) vacation in.......years!
