Visiting...or Staying??
It was great visiting and re-connecting with some friends from what feels like another lifetime (grad/med school, over 10 years ago)...and their kids, who were wee things back then, or not even born yet!
(Sidenote: this family "vacation" should be the envy of all family vacations to Hawaii - over a month spent more like a resident in a rented home by the beach. Totally how it should be done, if you can help it!)
