Did Cindy’s swimsuit arrive on time?

My most recent column was written the day we returned from Hawaii, and in my post-vacation fog, I forgot to include some important information. Thankfully, I have readers who aren’t shy about reminding me. Last week, I received this two-sentence email. “Nice column. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SWIMSUIT?” Ah, yes. Did my Miraclesuit arrive in time? Or did I wear my mother’s conical cup contraption on the beach at Waikiki? The answers to those uplifting questions soon, but first I should tell you I almost spent my 30th wedding anniversary alone/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.

Question: Have you taken a paradise vacation without a favorite swimsuit?
