One last hurrah

This past week the weather must have sensed that school started because it has been in the low 70's until this afternoon. I love every season. I can't say that I have a particular favorite because each one brings so much that I love. That being said, I'm not ready for it to be Fall yet. Yes, this Summer has been hot (aren't they all), yes a couple of weeks out of the blazing hot Summer I had a two hour commute with no A/C, and yes, I've spent my fair share of time laying out and reading at the pool. But, I still don't feel like I've really had the proper amount of adventure yet this Summer.


Thus, I am going to do something unusual and open up to my fair audience the opportunity to define my "One Last Hurrah" for the summer. I do have a couple of rules:



  1. Realistic: We all know I'm an adventure-oriented person, but an adventure that costs $10k is not going to happen.

  2. Location: Outside of Utah, preferrably outside the country.

  3. Activity: I have already determined I am not a resort girl. I got bored to tears on day two of a week in Mexico at a resort.

  4. Companionship: While I have dear friends who I am happy to tag along with and have tag along with me, I don't expect that any of them will necessarily want to go on some trip one of YOU suggests. That being said, I'm still an attractive, single white female. Please do not suggest places you wouldn't send your attractive, single female daughter, cousin, sister, friend alone.

  5. Final say: It's my "One Last Hurrah" not yours.

I will give you all until next Tuesday to make your suggestions. I'll pick the top three that meet the above rules and are interesting to me. I will then create a poll and let you all pick. If life cooperates, I'll do my darndest to be on that "One Last Hurrah".

Wherever you go, Matthew wants you to take him. We really enjoyed our Caribbean cruise. We did some fun day adventures at the different ports. Swimming with the sea turtles, snorkeling in crystal blue waters along a coral reef, hiking through a rainforest with Jacob on my back. It was lots of fun.

Karl: How about a week in Israel? Airfare is a bit pricey ($1500) but hotels in Telaviv are about $50/ night. That's our next vacation destination.

MOM Said: If you hurry, you can catch Autumn for a two week tour of Euope on the Eurotrain(?) and then on to Ireland. She has been working in Ireland most of the summer and followed her "soulmate" to Slovokia but is now got two weeks to kill before Lynn meets her in Ireland.

You can also look through that book we gave you for Christmas for some ideas.
