Cheers from our beach vacation on the north shore of Hawaii.
I'm not a huge fan of the heat or the outdoor tedium either...the way to make the beach fun is to bring along a few rounds of beer and a novel. And to keep your trip down to 2-3 hours max.

Looks like what you *really* needed was the tedium. You don't need the beach when you can get a lot of it -- and more! -- on the web. I recommend some of the sites mentioned in this piece. Alexandra Topping has done all the research so we don't have to!

Hmmm ... I suddenly *detest* working :-). "Office Space" captures the thought perfectly. In response to "what did you do yesterday?", the lead guy says, "I did NOTHING. And it was everything I dreamed it would be!".

What would be perfect is a massage on the beach. :-)

Sorry to inform, I am compelled to take you off my blogroll, lest the jealousy consumes me and I do something rash.

@ Jeffrey - Hope you are having a fabulous vacation too! Your advice sounds about right...
@ Abi - Very interesting article. Yes, maybe what I desperately needed was to just turn off completely. I have to say though, the beach is much more pleasurable than watching that chunk of cheese! :)
@ Libertarian - I remember that line - fabulous. And I feel as relaxed as he looked in that scene.
@ Ei - Ah, massage on the beach - perfection defined. I wonder if I could have gotten them to erect some sort of screen so that I could have done that. Too late... but an idea for next time...
@ TGFI - Sorry! Even when on the beach, my thoughts are with you, wishing you luck on your thesis...

How nice. I love the ocean too, and am planning my own beach side vacation.
