When are you coming back to France?

>Envy Rockhard for his Starwood vacation? I think not.

Perhaps the vacation was a much needed rest. Or, perhaps he has a large work product (project) that he needed to take care of. Though, knowing his moniker, he may just be part of the next season of The Apprentice.

I would envy him if he were on an African Safari (a dream for me). But, I have never been much of a resort kind of guy.

Resorts can be almost as dreadful as cruises. "Being in a ship is like being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned." -- Samuel Johnson

>Resorts can be almost as dreadful as cruises.

I really love cruises. I have a great time on them. My problem is that the access to the Internet is so expensive that I cannot enjoy myself. A few years back, I took a few NYC boys on a cruise to the Caribbean. We had a blast. The cruise was a great bargain. Our liquor tab at the end was 5 times the cost of the cruise. That speaks wonders for the bargain (or about the guys I was traveling with.)
