Hello EVeryone-

We are just getting over a 6-week run of the flu, ear infections, bronchitis, you name it in my home with 3 kids under 5! I am stressed out and maxed out!

I am looking for a weekend away from my now-healthy kids (DH got a ski trip with his buddies in January, now it's my turn!!) somewhere WARM! I am thinking Florida will be the easiest, since I won't have to spend my precious time traveling too far.

Can you please recommend somewhere for me to go AND somewhere to stay?? I have a free plane ticket, so I can spend my money on a very nice place.

I'm looking for: a beach that is warm enough for me to go swimming, peace and quiet, very comfprtable surroundings (dare I say luxiourious??) At least somewhere where I definitely will not be creeped out by icky rooms or noisy college spring breakers.

I don't need to do ANYTHING while I'm there other than read books, take naps, do yoga, go for walks on the beach and order in room service.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I thank you and my fmaily thanks you, too--they want their calm Mama back!

I recommend Captiva Island..either the Tween Waters Inn or South Seas Plantation.
