I'm just getting caught up on everything after a busy week, and your TRs are most entertaining! Looking forward to the rest of your trip. :D

I'm losing patience! I keep checking to see if you have another installment. When is it going to come! I need part 4!

I really have enjoyed your style of writing. Very enjoyable.
I AM that girl that would fall down the stairs. It happens all the time. I especially can't corner well. I always have bruises on my hips because I hit corners and the countertops in my kitchen.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and encouragement. The next installment is coming, probably later today or this evening. I really needed the weekend to get caught up.

Oh, and gymnastika, I totally feel your pain on not "cornering well." It probably looks to a casual observer like my husband beats me about the thighs. In reality, I just underestimate my clearage and am constantly banging myself on desks, footboards, tables, etc.

ALW, I've gotten to the point that I don't even notice getting bruises anymore. I'll randomly look down at my hips and thighs and it's like "Dang-it! Another couple of 'em? Sheesh." I even designed my island countertops to have the smooth round finished corners so this wouldn't happen. So much for trying.

I practically walked on water when I saw a dolphin at Francis, so I am thinking the day I see a shark (2 feet or 6 feet long) it is all over but the cryin'!

Loving your trip reports.

My husband is the only way I go snorkeling or diving and he's very well trained at the fine art of distraction. Now I a suspicious when he points me in a new direction at what was in the other direction...

Oh and as long as you don't wind up dead on our trips, everyone is fair game to get laughed at for the rest of the trip if they do something stupid.

Did you hear the one about the morons that decided to hike to Ram Head in mid-October during the middle of the day?

No?

Then I guess you missed our trip report from last year... :oops:
LOL... We did Rams Head at the end of last November, were done by 10 something in the morning and it was still hot as a you know what ... But SO worth it!
