I need it delivered by Thursday May 27. Land's End is out of stock on the one I want, and I don't like any of their others. Can you help? Thanks!

1. Lane Bryant ain't bad
Don't know if they can deliver really quick, though. If you found one you liked at Land's End, why not try Sears? (they seem to carry all the Land's End).

6. One more
On the lower end of the price scale (if that's any consideration)

www.onehanesplace.com

They have mostly bras and pantyhose, but they also have a line of woman-friendly swimsuits.

7. Yes, and photos, too.
Speaking of photos,BV. I saw your photo in the gallery and couldn't figure out if you were holding a little dog or cat. Sat for 10 minutes staring at the small pic than went D'oh and clicked on the thumbnail. When I saw the big photo it was obviously a cat. Some days I'm just plain slow.

(please ignore the web site's rather ironic caption)

and to go with it, I liked the sarong

but Mrs. V. likes the shorts better, and since she knows me, I trust her judgement that they'll look better

I'll post photos in June, afer our trip. (Mrs. V. says the Atlantic is cold; rest assured I'll Photoshop the headlights out of the pics. ;))

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!! DUers are the best.

10. LOL about the kitten
one look at my web site (see sig) would remove all doubt . . . ;)

My best friend has a saying when he has "d'oh!" moments: "I may be slow, but I do poor work."

But, your sig line doesn't show up on the gallery page. ;-)

On edit: Had to go to your site again cuz I couldn't remember Harry's name...love his Playgirl pose.
