Vaction time

Currently sitting in an airport waiting to fly to Jamaica to spend a week in Negril. Staying at a Couples Resort. Highly recommended.

Anyone else going anywhere fun this summer?

Yup, it is just amazing. Nothing like it and I've seen quite a bit of the west.

Oh that's even more badass. Fishing the North Folk can be challenging but it's sure beautiful to look at. Doing any guided rafting on the Middle Fork? Glacier Raft Company is probably the best and I think it's worth doing, even though it's not super cheap. The rapids are class II-III most of the year. More than enough to get your heart pounding if the water level isn't super low.

You have to do the drive around Flathead Lake on the way up. So take the route through Missoula I would say.

Thanks for all the ideas. We hadn't planned on doing any rafting, but if we change our mind I'll definitely look into the company you suggested.

Yea it's a half day and you're in a beautiful canyon with crystal clear green water.

As you get closer give me a message and please ask any questions along the way. I'd be more than happy to help you navigate some areas to see. My parents and I have done if for numerous friends and family over the years.

Love T&C. Never saw it as a kid's destination but it's great, hope you have an excellent time.
Oh, and piss on Jamaica.

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it.

I don't think I have taken a full week in a row of vacation in several years.

In a couple of weeks I am taking the family to the mountains and will do my best to refrain from looking at anything work related. I remember grilling my dad for years about "just leaving work at work". Even before cell phones he spent half of our vacations doing work stuff. The last few years he would take his laptop to the damn lake. I didn't understand.

Now I do. All too well. The cats in the cradle.......
