Summing it up?  A guess with a chuckle I'd say "The Three B's -- Beach, Bikini's and Beer."  All-in-all, we love vacationing by the water -- and the grandest water of them all is without question the ocean.  This trip included the perfect amount of beach time with the perfect amount of activities.  Even the length of the trip seemed ideal (we turned down a free extra night).
