Vitamin D 10,000mg daily dose

Despite the -2 ACTUAL temperature today, I am still on my Vitamin D "high" of last week. Basking in 75+ degree weather and literally soaking up nearly 10 hours a day of the precious ViD has really made an impact on my demeanor.  A Mid-Winter Caribbean Cruise should be a required activity for all Midwestern families!  Truly, if we never left the port of Miami, we would have still enjoyed ourselves, but visiting the icy blue Caribbean islands peppered along the Western route only intensifies and extends the notion of "Wasting Away in Margaritaville."  The cruise director consistently borrowed the Vegas PR slogan by declaring, "What happens on the Sun (our ship)...stays on the Sun." I certainly didn't do anything out of character, other than coutning Corona's among my daily fluid intake requirements, but it's amazing how all can be right in the world, with a simple (albeit-not cheap) change of scenery! 

The only problem is, (thanks to my husband pointing this out) I can't get out of my mind that each Saturday a new group of pasty faced Northerners get to tuck their wool coats in their carry on bag for a week or so, while they go and bask in OUR Paradise!
