Warm golden beaches
Paddles dipped in soft waves
The taste of salt on lips

I love my little San Rafael townhouse. Having a safe harbor and home base allows me the comfort of traveling with a semblance of peace of mind. But do I really want peace? It feels like time for The Next Big Thing. I have nothing to hold me here. My daughters are grown and have lives of their own and I don't have a lover. That means the world is mine for the taking. Why not go out and explore again? My two year stint in the Virgin Islands pretty much blew my mind. I have gone back to visit my VI friends every year since 2008 because it feels like home. Perhaps it's time for me to adopt another exotic locale and make it my own. Where should I go next? I've always wanted to see Greece, Italy, Egypt, Fiji, and pretty much anyplace with a warm climate and golden beach. Wanderlust strikes again!
"I'm so glad to be on my own." Joni Mitchell
