Hi Alicia.. I know the feeling about work overload, but the heat... it's a tad chilly here! I've taken to watching 'The Day After Tomorrow' whenever we have a heatwave downunder. Ramp up the aircon.. and on with the DVD... it seems to help. Lovely images and beautiful post as always. Julie
Me again. Your blog is prettier and prettier each time I visit... Thanks for brightening my day!
Oh wow check out the pineapple sorbet, yumo!
Totally lovin' everything you have listed there honey, I'm desperate for a holiday. Not going to happen till we get this house built. ho-hum.

Looks like the perfect spot! Summer is just around the corner for us and cannot wait :) Ax
Thank you for the vacation! I had a relaxing time!
Wow, you really have taken me away! I can almost feel that hammock, a cool breeze and a cocktail in my hand. Oh and a good book. But the cool breeze and cocktail are more satisfying.
A very very pretty blog... did I mention pretty?
And girly... can't forget girly... it's a good thing to be girly, you know... if you actually ARE a girl... it's good.
I was just thinking the other day that there weren't enough hammocks and mojitos in our neighborhood!
Very refreshing pictures and mood!
Hi Alicia,
These recipes look scrumptious! I need to try the mango mojito though, since I am Cuban and I am a big fan of mojitos...
I finally had a chance to go to the Hampton Designer Showhouse yesterday...It was such a nice break from job searching...I really needed that, It completely inspired me and recharged my battery..Stop by when you can...the rooms are great!

That pineapple sorbet, served in a fresh pineapple, is absolutely delovely! Thanks for sharing this inspiring idea :)
The pineapple sorbet looks amazing!
I so agree Alicia...it was a cheap shot...I was trying to appeal to the baby lovers!!!! Give me a cocktail anyday !! XXXX
I say the heck with the halibut & the healthy stuff & I'm grabbing Keith Urban, the mojito's & pineapple sorbet & heading straight for that hammock. However, I may have to blind & gag him first!
Thanks for the lovely get-a-way my friend. Always a pleasure to be in your company!

That top photo is so cool and unusual! Take care and have a great weekend, Alicia!
Looks like a perfect getaway! I actually am listening to Keith Urban right now (he kinda soothes the soul, no?,) and I would love to be eating the halibut with mango/cucumber salsa and the sorbet too!
Hi A,
Just found your blog, as I moved to Winston Salem, NC from NYC + we bought a bungelow. I am decorating on a major shoestring...Look forward to visiting your site often for ideas.
Dying to know where you found that dotted glass cocktail shaker?
Thanks! Jenny
