You are such a romantic, Ronald! I enjoyed learning more about your time in Puerto Rico and it's connection to that song, which I remember, although I was born in 1954, because I am a major Nat King Cole fan.

I have to agree with "beaches are for the young". I used to love the beach more than any other place and waited impatiently for the one or two times a year I was able to go. Now, give me some quieter body of water, like our lake or a lazy river. I'd much rather be near still water than the always-in-motion ocean. Fifteen years ago, I would never have believed that my love affair with the beach would end!
