She says: and we're off (again)! This year's trip will be a little different.... Element#1. We will be gone for a full eight, not just four, weeks. Element #2. Stay tuned for a unique cast of colourful supporting characters, including some surprise guest stars from last season. Element #3. This year, my body has really given me some challenges. I have had a crazily hard time with my neck and back. This throws a bit of a kink (I'm hilarious) into a lot of our ...

The view from the top of the club was awesome, overlooking the Mediterranean.
