Dear friends,

I wasn’t around last week.  I apologize.  I was in Vieques, for what I think is the third year in a row.  Normally, when I travel, I like to check out new places and try new things that I’ve never seen or thought of before.  Apparently I make exceptions for unpretentious, pristine beaches in the Caribbean.  It’s a thing.

After a day of rain and camping out in the lobby of the W, the skies cleared and we were off to the beach to be baked into a crispy, crunchy red hue.  My favorite this year was the Bahia de la Chiva (Blue Beach), with the Caracas (Red Beach) a very close second.  I’ll tell you more about Vieques later on this week, just wanted to say a ‘Hello’ and ‘I’m alive’.

How was your week?
