So....since I dig it when people update threads of inquiry, I try to do the same, so, here goes....
Everyone was pretty spot on, and The Highway gentleman nailed it.
They took the ferry over, and stayed in cabin on the Island. Did some hiking, hit the museum & a few places.
They got to distress from work.
They didn't hit the Riviera to eat, as I had made them lots of food to take (Hummus, etc.)
Very laid back & not a lot going on, which suited their mood at the time.
I didn't have to go, yet was less than an hour away if I was needed.
Perfect.
I got to stay home & get some shit done
Winner-winner, chicken dinner!
Thanks to all who posted a response & PM'd.
