Now thats my idea of a vacation!   Sitting in front of a fireplace in a romantic cabin.   :)

I remember staying in a similar place in Stowe Vermont.   My BF (at the time) and I booked a suite with living room, fireplace and separate bedroom for a weekend getaway.

My thought is that it is always best to upgrade.   Life is short and spending a little extra always makes a big difference in the experience of the trip.    Besides, it is just one more months payment on the old Visa card right?       ;)

I want to add one of my favorite chapter endings to Louise's list.  This is from Taking Chances, Chapter 79:

“Ellery?”

“Hmmm... whassat...” a long hand came up to push Ennis’s hair back, caress his neck.

“I think yer right about yer theory.”

“That’s good.”

Ennis sighed, setting down his glass on the beside table. “Thank you,” he murmured, and before Ellery could reply, his eyes had closed and he had slipped into a deep, untroubled sleep.

This is so tender and sweet, and Ennis basically said "I love you" without having to face the panic of saying the actual words.  A big step for him.  And he'll get up the courage to say the words soon enough!  I love this exchange.

What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)
