Either one works fine with me.

Works for me but won't affect me, as I wouldn't normally get either off,
and would be on a week-plus vacation, anyway.

In another post, Bob Denton suggested east coast or the keys, and you have
some interesting suggestions about Key Largo. Frankly, I don't know enough
to judge, so I'd suggest you Floridians work it out. The wife has given
tentative approval for a January or February trip and taking the kayak --
but we'll have to work in some visits to overwintering relatives, too.

Sounds like a real strong possibility. Again, I think you Floridians will
have to work out the details. But, I'm looking forward to it already!
