Escape



{ photographs from Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts }

It's almost April and officially Spring. Yet last night we were walking (more like slipping) through a snow/sleet/hail and lightening storm. I think I'll just close my eyes and imagine being at Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts in the Maldives.
