Au Naturel

I find this incredibly amusing: The United States is a deeply conservative country and some inhibitions take time to cast off, but Americans are starting to flock to beaches and country parks reserved for nudists, especially at the luxury end of the market. "People are looking for a more relaxed way to spend their vacation," according to Carolyn Hawkins, public relations coordinator for the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). "They find visiting a nudist resort, they can travel more and pack less." Travel more and pack less! That's just about the best reason I've heard to go on one of those nude "au naturel" cruises. That should be their slogan! The Problem is, it's usually filled with the kind of people you really don't want to see naked. Oh well...

Yes, exactly Sandmonkey... I went to a nude beach in Saint Martin(sp? the dutch virgin Island whichever that si...) during my honeymoon cruise back in 1993 and I actually dragged my wife back to the beach where people had bathing suits on, because they looked better :)

That's not always true though... there's a nude beach near San Diego where some really good looking people hang out.

There's a nudist beach near one of the islands where I live. There's all types there, even families with kids. Not what I expected.
