Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Brett Kavanaugh identified as one of the "hired"

WE know it's been one of the worst weeks of his tenure, but does HE know? nt

I don't know about CA beaches. Pacific Ocean is so different from the Atlantic - rougher, seals, etc

My brother lives in SoCal, & visits the beach towns, but not likely the beaches.

Florida being a state that promotes and profits through tourism,

I hope they provide plenty of signage explaining that mollusks, conch shells, and key deer are protected species.

I recall years ago large conch shells were given away free with a gas fill-up; I still have one of those shells in my bathroom.

Perhaps some of their deviants and perverts - so well known.
Mark Sanford is going to need a job soon. - Would he make a good County Commissioner?
Roy Moore? He could wear his cowboy hat while registering deeds.

You are wise to travel now, rather than put it off a few years.

If you feel physically up to seeing interesting parts of the world, by all means make it happen.

I'm seven yrs older than you, loved to travel, but no longer feel it's prudent to go distances by myself.
Plus, other family or life events can come along, unexpectedly, as happened to me, when a younger family member became disabled, and it became my mission to assist there as much as able.

Report to us on your trips, and keep planning. I'd love to hear about Labrador, as plans and trip progress.
