What a difference 2-weeks can make.

My wife, Sue and I are at the Belmond El Encanto in Santa Barbara. 
Perched high in the Santa Barbara hills, this iconic hideaway offers the best views of the American Riviera.
Spread across seven acres of secluded gardens, Belmond El Encanto opened in 1918.  The resort is gleaming and glamorous, yet relaxed and low key. The kind of place that invites you to recline poolside, breathe in the ocean air, and sip a glass of crisp local wine.
Two weeks ago, Sue was in the hospital for 4-days with a serious health crisis. With great medical care she has made a dramatic recovery and she is feeling wonderful. Our three kids traveled from all corners of the United States to be by her side to provide comfort and cheer her up.  Our son, Collin, who is a doctor, was a tremendous help figuring out the entire situation.  We are blessed with a wonderful family.
