A reprise of a Dick Staub Interview with Melinda and Bob Blanchard about their book A Trip to the Beach. Enjoy this description from Publisher’s Weekly. “To those weary of the rat race, the prospect of moving to a tropical land and opening a bistro sounds like a dream: balmy weather, blue skies and not a care save for which number sunblock to wear. Melinda and Bob Blanchard couldn’t pass up the chance to live out that dream, and their resulting adventure is recounted in this prosaic memoir, presented as a slim volume narrated by Melinda.
