US of A was restful. We were lady's that lunched or at home drinking tea, gossiping or watching DVD's. A small amount of sightseeing and shopping. To be fair our activities were curtailed a little because my pal had recently had an operation on her ankle and couldn't walk too far. Who cares, it was a break and helped to keep it a bit more MSE.
