So joining the vacation spot meme. And wow, some great books! I've read two - yours and Vanessa's. :) Both awesome.

Happy weekend. My next Celebration post will be next week due to blog maintenance. I asked my TechGuy to take a look at my commenting issue. Someone has an issue no matter which system I use it seems. GRR!!!

What a fun hop! I have a booked weekend right around the time of the hop, so I don't think I will be able to put up a post (but I am going to check my calendar). I know that I will love visiting everyone's blogs though. :)
