My bad. I was under the impression that a shot of vodka had minimal to no calories.

Still though! Ha.

And p.s. I call it "Fredka".

This is almost too simple, but it's delicious, light, and perfect for sunny warm weather: - lots of ice - vodka - Fresca - lime wedge Pour about a shot of vodka (more or less depending on your mood! :wink: ) into the ice and fill the rest up with Fresca. Then squeeze the juice from the lime wedge on...

Here is me and the hubby dining at La Tapa on our big night out:


mmm... That olive oil concoction was so delicious, as was everything we tried that night!

I got one too.

Oy vay.

Lovely.

When I'm on St. John I'm up with the sunrise every day. Right when the birds start chirping and you can hear the roosters for miles. It's one of my favorite times of day down there.

I will live vicariously through you all until then.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom for our honeymoon - Perelandra . Both bedrooms have AC's and their own private bathrooms.

Great deal Steve S! Just yesterday I booked a flight out of Boston for May 2008... $256 each, round trip with all taxes and fees.

Usually we'd be lucky to pay twice that much! My husband is especially excited for the deal.
