We've been trying to beat the post-holiday blues with a visa's-worth of virtual travel destinations this past week.

@Becky: I hear you! I'm going to miss pulling together these escapes ideabooks as they took my mind off the cold weather here.
@Judy: If you have any images of homes in Kenya we'd LOVE to see them! Sounds very pretty.
