It has been winter long enough in Chicago and all I want is someplace warm, and maybe a nice sandy beach…. okay and some People magazines and perhaps a nice cold drink.

Um yeah, so all of this thinking about places that unfortunately I won’t be visiting anytime soon reminded me of some places I have been. Here are some perfect beach destinations. I am only going to post some tantalizing pictures for now but get excited for more warmth when I feature each of these destinations in the coming weeks!

Aren’t you feeling a little warmer already?
