72 degrees.

Humidity.

Palm trees

Ocean breezes.

Tulips, pansies, birds of paradise, California poppies, etc. etc. etc. all in bloom.

Finding an indoor oasis in the middle of my hotel. Live plants. The sound of water running. Koi swimming back and forth all the livelong day. Turtles, too, but you have to really look for those.

Seeing the effect of modesty.

Teenagers.

Music.

Sand between my toes.

The taste of ocean salt.

Lunching on local fair on the outside deck looking out over the bay.

Aquariums.

Touching sea stars and anemones.

Not having to cook or do dishes.

Laughing out loud.

The sun.

Being safely home.
