Hey Chelle. It's been a couple of places. Aruba, yes, good memory! And I think Biras Creek with Laura Davidson (or something in the USVI ages ago). And yes, wine, astrology are just two specialties. I think you're recalling my "parlor trick" of combining the astrological birth sign and numerological birth number as a quickie reading over drinks. One of my books (mostly travel guides, but also a cookbook) combined the two... Great to "see" you again! :-) Hope all's going as well as can be expected in these parlous times!
Welcome Chelle! It's great to have a writer of your caliber with us -- and we expect you'll find the site both fun and productive in various ways! Please take a few moments to explore those of our many groups you might be particularly interested in, such as Florida and various Caribbean islands. And please spread the word among your friends, relatives, and colleagues who are interested in travel! Looking forward to staying in touch and exchanging ideas.... best, Dave Appell
