Or did you find a Shangri-la like warm valley? :o) I am looking for a place where the mean temperature is about 75 Fahrenheit all the time, there are oodles of pretty girls, and a tax free port where the local liquor store is run by an absent minded Scot who stocks all the single malts, and loves to chat up photographers!!! Oh, and the local Leica dealer specializes in discounted demos! Dan (I ain't THAT crazy!)
