>>Sounds terrific. I still haven't gotten as good as I would like to be with unstructured or even semi-structured vacations. There must be some Yank gene that makes us want to go racing through every place we visit at top speed, ticking things off the list. The closest I have come are two weeks lazyarsing around New Zealand and then a week and a half honeymoon in Hawaii. Those were relaxing.
