The smart folks wait until the children are safely back ensconced in school — and then they hit the beach. Danya Ruttenberg headed for Eilat.

I’d never been to Eilat before, and it was pretty much what I expected: a lot of the trappings of Standard Resort-Type Place (cheezy boardwalk, rum company logos on awnings, lots and lots and oh lots of techno blaring everywhere), but done Israeli style (soliders on leave instead of college kids on spring break, lots of families, some kosher eats). Except for the techno, really, I had a great time. There was relaxing, there was swimming, there was much snorkeling (Coral reefs! Sea anemones! Purple and orange fish! Clownfish! Silvery fish! Parrot fish! Sting rays! Pretty fishies! Green fishies! Lots of fishies!), there was a passionfruit margarita, there was much sunblock, there was much mellow.
