It's been a tough winter. New Jersey is butt-ugly right now. Grey snow and naked trees. We've all been stuck inside so way too long.

I have found myself surfing travel-geek websites. Through some random links, I came to a TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert. I couldn't watch the whole thing, because I have a pet-peeve about writers calling themselves artists. Artists paint pictures. Actors, singers, and writers are NOT artists. And you are not a writer until you've actually published something. OK, rant over.

But I surfed around and found her website, which was interesting. She's running a cute import business with a fun website. And from there I went to the dancing YouTube guy's website.

I need a vacay. I'm looking for cheap flights to Key West in August. Too hot then?
