This is the first President’s Week, in several years, that we have not taken a family vacation. That, along with the sound of my husband once again shoveling snow outside, has me daydreaming about vacations on the beach instead of focusing on blog writing. If I could go anywhere right now it would be to the beach in Rivera Maya, Mexico. The beaches in Rivera Maya are beyond description with beautiful aquamarine water that meets pure white sand. Other than the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, the only other sound one might hear on the beach is the voice of a waiter saying, “Can I get you something to drink?”

Perhaps if I close my eyes, wish really hard, and tap my feet together three times. . .

Where would you go to escape this winter?

PS In case I don't get carried away to Rivera Maya please join me, with the newly named Gotham Meadowbrook Group (previously Gotham South Shore) at our new venue Golden Reef Diner  329 Sunrise Hwy, Rockville Centre, NY on Tuesday Feb 18 at 8AM. We are thrilled to welcome Vincent Russo who will be joining Norm Spizz and myself as co-chairs, along with group coordinator Ester Horowitz.  We invite all circuit riders, guests and "fresh fish".
