Kelli and I visited here on vacation a couple weeks ago. We got a deal on Ebay for the use of a timeshare for a week. (No we didn’t buy a timeshare.) It was a little run-down, but nice enough. The kicker was the jackhammers, dumptrucks, cranes, metal saws, etc… right outside our window. It went on all day, from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Needless to say, we spent most of our time outdoors and away from our room.

The weather was cloudy and it was a little cold, mostly low 70’s all week. A few days we found sun and high 80’s, but that wasn’t the norm. Kelli wore a sweatshirt over her bikini a lot of the time.

The hiking was really cool, very rough and very muddy but beautiful. If we go back, we will camp for sure.

Oh and the surf was pretty rough, we did get to go snorkeling at Tunnel’s beach and Ke’e, but it was cloudy so we couldn’t see much.

It sounds like we had a bad time, but it wasn’t that bad. We still had lots of fun, sitting on beaches in our sweatshirts and reading to each other.

I turned 15 at the Philmot Boy Scout ranch during a two week backpacking trip. Its a lot like Colorado. I have great memories of that trip.

I’ve driven through southern New Mexico a few times, a very dry and arid place.

I’ve spent a few weeks in Orlando at conferences and I must say that it isn’t my favorite place. Tourist Crap!

I really liked the Kennedy Space Center east of Orlando and the gulf side has some nice, calm beaches.
