Our headwaiter last night was Jamaican, the previous night, Indian.<br> I had a pedicure yesterday. It was the 'Fire and Ice'. Massage, hot stones, and cooling gel were part of it. What a joy! After, I went into the ladies spa areas. They have tropical rain showers where the water comes from the ceiling just like rain, then the whirlpool tub ...

... plans to go to Cinque Terra, not having it on my original list of places to go, and it turned out to be one of my most favourite, cherished places I went.

That is so incredibly awesome!<br><br>Apparently my photos are also not so bad. Travelpod has selected almost a dozen of them to be included in the daily ...

... I let myself behind the reception desk and found a phone. At first I kept thinking, "Josie, you should be nervous. You should be scared. Your wuh-oh alarm should be going off. You should be wanting to leave. You should be thinking about finding other accommodations." But there's something about Sicily that just sets my risk-taking genes on fire.

You will have to look on the map to find out where we have just been. Weather is absolutely fabulous, sea is calm and the drinks are still flowing. Keep the emails and messages coming, we love them.
