Thanks! I was getting a bit tired of the dreads, and it is nice to have a change. Been awhile since you've seen me with short hair, hasn't it? :P

Martinique doesn't seem far--it feels like we are at least in the "right" part of the world--but sadly it would be cheaper to fly over from France, I think. Don't know when our next vacation Stateside will be, but we'll keep you informed. :)
