A crystal clear sunset to a dark and stormy drink. Heavenly. The crab bruschetta and the lobster & escargot with sweet peas, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes over a puff pastry cake in an herb cream sauce. Extraordinary. A day on the beach. Refreshing. Games by the fire and a nap in a big arm chair. Relaxing. A beer with a breathtaking view. Phenomenal. A break from the real world. Fabulous…

Hi from Amelia Island! Matt said the surprise exceeded expectations! We arrived in a little over 7 hours and found a sunny, 60 degree day in Florida. We had a little bit of trouble checking into our room and ended up having to wait a while before we were moved to the correct room (the one we were assigned to hadn’t been cleaned yet).

I’m writing to you from the bus from Hyannis back to Boston! We’ve had a horrendous day of travel, but the weekend really couldn’t have been more perfect, so I knew something would probably go wrong on the way home. Despite arriving for the ferry 30 minutes ahead of time, there was an insane line for the first come, first serve boat. But since we had been assured that the 750-person ferry had only filled up a few times in…
Local beer and burgers, festive games and fun new friends, cocktails on the beach, a perfect sunset, and plenty of dancing, made for a fabulous day on the island. I’m headed to the beach to start day 2. See ya.…
