Starting Vacation Right

Marinated, barbequed chicken, a crackling fire, schmores, and my two best friends; what could be a better way of starting this superb vacation? 

As Sandy and I cannot wait for a re-unite in Ontario in a couple days, I feel a sensation I have not felt in many years.  A feeling of euphoria, if you will.  A sense of being that everything is aligned and it it's perfect order and place.

In a couple days, I will be alone with my thoughts, feelings and my God.  Starting a trip with a healthy mind makes even the meager two weeks I have seem more than enough.  If I had to return to work today, I would be fine with it, but I don't.  As I have most everything planned as far as transportation goes, I still need to solidify a ride from Idyllwild.  No matter as things just keep working themselves out for the best.

I want to send a prayer to my lil' girl, Amber.  She gets very emotional when her daddy is on the trail, but I will make sure I call her and let her know I am ok.  I am afraid the request of finding, packing, and bringing home a scorpion simply will not happen sweetie.

I also want to send a prayer to my baby, who's support along my journey, on the trail as well as in everyday life, has been unparalleled.  Thanks hon!

I want to say a public "Thank You" to my uncle, who's support has also been so incredulously unselfish. 

Want to send a "I Love You" to Mom and Dad.

To all my friends, I thank you guys for your help and support, especially over the last year.  Peace!
