Nikko - a getaway sounds like a FINE idea - maybe it should even be a planned event, every so often. I had thought about going to a Bed & Breakfast with hubby over Mother's Day week-end, but decided against it, but we are definitely going to plan it for sometime soon. There are many neat B & Bs around here. Do they have such a thing in Az?
Regardless of where you go, anything that takes you away from your home for a day or two is a great idea! It's a TOTAL break from routine, and the change of scenery doesn't hurt, either!
Hope you can plan one soon!
