Yes, the River Styx is abounding in icebergs.
Ray and I are leaving to go on a motorcycle trip. Something I swore I would never do. This is what happens when a low adventure girl marries a high adventure boy. Eventually he breaks down some of her barriers. That, coupled with a high desire to socialize with my friends who invited us to join them on this trip, caused me to cave.
We're flying into Seattle today, then we'll join up with six other couples, and drive up through Canada, just past Vancouver, then on over to Vancouver island, and back down to Seattle. Over four days.
I'm all set. Ray got me all the gear I need. I even practiced wearing my helmet so that I might lose some of the claustrophobic feeling it gives me (the same feeling I get when using SCUBA gear). I've suggested Ray ask Dave for some drug that will give him patience with me (for Ray). Ray laughed and said any pills that would help in that way would make it unsafe for him to drive.
I'm taking the camera. I'll try to get lots of pictures. Here's Ray by the kind of motorcycle we'll be riding on (Honda Goldwing):
I wouldn't mind a few prayers sent on our behalf... (we leave Thursday morning at the crack o' dawn).
It sounds like a beautiful place to ride. Have fun! It will be fun to see the pictures and read about the trip.
ReplyDeleteI positively covet Honda Goldwings. I am usually not very adventurous either, preferring to experience life vicariously through books, but I have always wanted to go on a long bike trip like that. And in Seattle, too! I'm jealous!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a TON of fun. I can't wait to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteDiane, We are going to have a blast! Can't wait to see you!

Have a great time and post lots of photos. When are you all going to ride to Big Bear? That would be a REALLY long ride! We would love to see you all.
