>Well, having lived 1/2 block from the beach in Flordia for many years now - I go pretty much every day. I doubt thats going to change while I'm in Hawaii....plus I surf so I'm going to be there a lot.

That's it. I was on the beach more in the years when I was 600 km away from it, than now that I'm 12 km away. Somehow there's always something else to do. And it rains on weekends ;).
