Kayaking in the sloughs.... saw LOTS of wildlife including those cutie pie sea otters.
Horseback riding on the beach.
A hot stone massage.
A NON-SMOKING room overlooking the beach with a very cool hot tub built into a window overlooking same beach.
This was actually my first challenge away from home. I usually associate vacations with allowing myself to do whatever pleases me. So I did have urges to smoke, but they didn't last very long. And I also really appreciated the fact that I could hang out doing the fun things that I did without trying to figure out when and where I was going to have a cigarette.
I was really able to smell the beach air, and really appreciate my health.
Hooray :)
I've appreciated other people writing about facing a new setting without smoking (you just did that yourself, Karren!). Those firsts are a little scary going into them, but resisting urges really wasn't as bad as I thought they might be.
Back to work with me. Sigh.... I still want to be kayaking with my otter buddies.

Yes!!! I just got back from a fabulous vacation late last night. Hopefully I didn't worry anybody-- I just decided to extend it. I'm at work and mobbed so I'll write more later about the bliss of having a smoke-free vacation.
Thanks for checking on me buddy.
