<-----That is the beach I will be at in less than 7 hours. Just wanted to check in with everyone to you all know that I am going to be fine. I went to the doctor today and he thinks that I have been suffering from Gastroenteritis...basically my stomach has been constantly upset and I'd rather stay in bed than move an inch.

I had to switch trai...
