arrived. You are there.

You can choose to go and
do, or to stay and relax, or you
can choose a combination of
activity and total relaxation.
There are great restaurants

within an easy drive. You can
go to secluded places or more
tourist oriented areas. You can
even go outletting. And I

I have not even begun to

this paradise offers, but I can
tell you this: Eileen and I have
been there several years in a
row, in all seasons, and we are
going back this summer for the
longest part of our vacation.
