The Pros and Cons of a Beach Vacation

Cons

• Mosquitos
• Sand fleas
• Thighs, calves, ankles, toes polka-dotted with mosquito and sand flea bites
• Itchy skin slathered in chemical cocktail of 50+ SPF, bug spray and calamine lotion
• Strange kids jumping loudly into pools over and over and over again
• Appendages slammed between adjustable lounge chair parts
• Air conditioner that sounds like diesel engine
• Sweltering heat when you turn off air conditioner that sounds like diesel engine
• Suspicious salad eaten at beach hut
• Nausea
• Cost of local doctor to treat nausea
• Being forced to subsist on piña coladas (also add to Pros) 
• Forgetting chemical cocktail after third piña colada 
• Sunburn
• Inadvertent salt/sand exfoliation of sunburn

Pros 

Pros outweigh cons every time.
Or, rather, discomfort fades and beauty remains.
