Thanks for the suggestions, but not likely. We've spent a lot of time in Mexico
and other Latin American countries, just not much in the islands. And we're more
likely to play tennis in the morning, then walk or scooter around the island and
shop for a couple of hours, then kill the first half of the afternoon having
lunch, then hit the beach until sunset. Followed by a light supper and some
reading. We're not really night people at our advanced ages (61 and 53). 8;)

Yes, pretty much. We spend two or three weeks a year wandering around France and
other European countries without any set plans, and we're confirmed -- and
experienced -- foodies.

Geez, Brian, you should be a combination travel agent and cheerleader!
