I hate Spring, at least this first part. It is so wet right now. There's rain, sometimes freezing rain, and melting snow. It will be very muddy any day now. Soon, I won't be able to ski until next Winter. I always get the blues in March and early April. How can I learn to love this ugly season? Has anyone else managed to cultivate an appreciation for a season they hate? Is there something I could do this time of year that would make it seem special and fun?

My parents (in their 60s) and my brother and I (both in our 30s) are planning to take a Mediterranean cruise this spring. However, that's as far as we've gotten in the planning! I'd love some advice, especially from people who have done this before.

Help my partner and me find a place to take a well-deserved vacation in mid-March. We have a budget of about $1500 including flights. We are looking for something near a beach where it's warm, within flying distance of New York City but preferable outside the US. Something more upscale than a
straw hut in Dominica but less pre-determined than an
all-inclusive resort in Antigua. Bonus points for ecotourism and cultural memorability.
