Hudson river plane crash

Everyone has seen the pictures of that plane that crashed into the Hudson River yesterday.

An amazing scene, to see all those people standing on the semi-submerged wings of the plane. Kudos to the pilot, who happens to be an expert in the psychology of flight crews in emergency situations.

I still can't understand why the plane didn't sink. The cabin doors and emergency exits were open, and some people said the plane did take in water. I really wonder what kept it from sinking like a rock.

Vacation

We just came back from 8 days in Siesta Key Florida, our new favorite vacation spot.

We had a nice second-floor one bedroom condo right on the beach, and we watched the sun set over the gulf every night from our patio. The weather was sunny and 75-80 all the time. Really perfect weather.

We really had such a nice time, building sand sculptures (a whale and a fish this time), collecting sea shells, and playing in the ocean.

We only ate out a few times, for a lunch and some breakfasts. We spent a lot of money on the place but not much on airfare and rental car.
