Hello @afrog, thanks for visiting!

In many ways, it was a really nice experience to go from our modern technological life to a totally "analog" experience for a few days... it was almost like the memory of camping in my childhood.

I hope you and Elke have a lovely holiday! When my parents retired to Spain, we'd often spend a few days in Saint-Jean-de-Luz on drives from Denmark to Malaga and back... very nice beaches, as I remember (I was a teenager at the time).

Time away is important. People put too much weight on working here in the USA... the more realistic approach to holiday time is something I do miss about Europe.
