Re: Running Away.
Do you know which part of Ireland you were from, or if you still have any relatives there? When I went, I connected with some distant relations and it was amazing. I found it very strange to see that there was still a physical resemblance after several generations had gone by. If you can find some family there, maybe you could go for a visit.Cheryl_Dowell wrote:I would absolutely love to go to Ireland, not only because of the amazing stories I've heard, but also because I have some Irish in my blood.

it was duty free back them). The most popular bar back then was The BoomBoom Room. Once every set they
sang "Yellow Bird", a song about a British girl who has hepatitis. Carla, how do I do it?
Very very carefully, I presume.

How to dance with a diseased woman...you don't. And the yellowish bloat prohibits hug dancing, anyway. And stop calling it vacay! IDK...I hear that Gideon's is really one of the #1 ways...or signing a book deal.
(~get it together and back on topic, Carla~)
Running away...my best friend and I were having this very same discussion yesterday. Both of us finished with winter. Only 56 more days until Spring! Morning coffee and chat. Where by the goodness of the great Gazoogle we looked up the beach closest to the equator and came up with Diani Beach...sugar white...turquoise water...mind the "camel muffins"...palm trees. And only 4 miles south of the Equator. Throw in an umbrella drink and phone the airlines

YES!!! I went to Savannah once years ago and it is one of the places that has stayed with me. It's definitely a place for a slow down kind of escape. I have this really clear memory of waking up very early and going to the Tybee Island pier to stand in the water and watch the sun rise over the ocean. It was a bit like magic.Carla Hurst-Chandler wrote:Running away...how about Savannah Georgia and across 19 to Tybee IslandLive oaks thick with Spanish Moss. The fountains, benches and street musicians of Forsyth Park. Sax drifting on the morning air. Wisteria climbing up the face of the Williams House. Brick streets and the garden squares. A ride on the street car about Savannah Proper.
