Dave and I are leaving today to attend a wedding on the beach.

Here's the picture in my mind:

Lying on a chaise lounge under an umbrella with a cold drink in my hand as I listen to the sound of the ocean waves rolling in over the beautiful white sand...the gentle breezes keep me cool as I relax in the cozy warmth of the beach...jumping into the ocean and floating on the delicate waves.....and then catching up on my reading and occasionally drifting off to sleep....

OK, reality check:

I am lying on the lounge chair that I had to carry down the long boardwalk to the beach. I have slathered on just enough of my SPF 50 sunscreen so that when the wind blows-the sand will stick to me.....no one is swimming in the ocean for fear of sharks....the people next to me have a boom box blaring but not loud enough to cover up the sound of their young child crying...and it is so hot that my sunscreen is starting to melt.

Which will it be?

Stay tuned as I am taking my computer with me and will report from the white sands of Orange Beach, Alabama.
