Our farewell dinner was served at the Rio Grande Club in Southfork Colorado. We enjoyed a walk around the club and a declicious meal. It was a delightful way to say "goodbye" to our time in Colorado. Here is some information I found on the club, for all of you golfers out there: We’re nationally acclaimed, named among Golf Digest magazine’s Top 10 best, new upscale public golf course facilities in America for 2003. The avid golfer’s best-kept secret is out. ... read more

The Great Sand Dunes National Park Dialogue between Tiff and Tanya (While coming down the dunefield): Tiff: This sand is hot! Tanya: Okay, let's run- Tiff: Ouch, ouch, ouch....!!!! Tanya: aahhhhh...!!!! Tiff: Here's the board! Hurry! Hurry!! Jump on it!!! Tanya: (turning around and running back up the dunefield to Tiff, stepping on the board...relief).Where's your shirt?!?!?! (noticing that her tank top had fallen out of her pocket which she placed there before heading back down) Tiff: Just leave it! Don't go back-it's not worth it!! Tanya: (Thinking "this isn't the Sahara, surely I can find my way back to it")No, I'll go find it. Tiff: I'm not watching!!! I don't like you!

Paul carries the kayak up the back deck.
When returning from vacation I often have feelings of exhaustion and the need for a “vacation” from my “vacation”…some rest and relaxation to ease me back into general daily functioning. Every so often, however, there comes a “vacation” that doesn’t fit this mold but instead offers refreshment, peace, joy and satisfaction.

A few months ago, Tiff extended the invitation for me to join herself, her parents, aunt and uncle on a road trip to visit a family of some friends. ... read more
This is a great description of a similar experience that I encountered while traveling Fiji. I thought that it would be worth sharing. Fiji: Caves, Customs, and Compliments By: Katie Green, STA Travel Internet Marketing Specialist I was probably lying motionless on a hammock by the beach in the middle of the South Pacific when another traveler at the resort mentioned a cave expedition the next day. I was immediately interested; I couldn’t complain about the blissful monotony of soaking up sun for 10 days in Fiji, but I had heard these limestone caves in the Yasawa island group were amazing. My traveling companions and I persuaded the staff at our tiny, beautiful, simple resort on the island Naviti to take seven people on the day trip. They didn’t want to take us; the caves were ... read more
