We travel a fair bit, but Kim and Sue won't go if we stay someplace without a spa.
I'm with her. I used to stay anywhere. When we used to come here before, we would ride horses into Haleakala Crater to stay at a cabin with no power, you had to bring your own water and firewood. Even walked in a couple times.
But now, what I consider "roughing it" is if room service stops at ten o'clock at night.
Oh, the humanity!

I use to camp in my youth, hike into the woods, climb mountains and thought it was great. As I got older I found I began to agree with my father. And now I am in full agreement with him. Camping and hiking are great, just as long as I can return to the Hotel at the end of the day and sleep in a nice clean bed.
One time I went to visit a friend in Montana. We stayed in the Glacier Nation Park for 1 day. My friend said there were just too many people there. Next morning we left that national park. In the next 4 weeks we hiked from lake to lake (outside of the Glacier Nation Park) with fishing poles and fire arms (with over 200 rounds ammo).
Even the nation park, to some people, it's still too crowded. I have a T-shirt it said FBI - fishing, beer, and isolation.

that was my dad's maxim as well.
Now mind you, he is an avid RVer, but only to points of interest in civilized surroundings.
He had to do the camping thing with tent and air mattress when he was young and broke.
We could afford economy hotels when I grew up, so we never camped.
Hanging out for a day at the outdoor pool with a cool box and umbrella, etc was about as outdoorsy as it got.
To disappear in the woods for 4 weeks was the most fun part of my life. I always carry firearm (44 magnum), fishing pole, and a spear. and I like to dress 100% camouflage.
This is my spear head.
which would have landed you in a precarious situation where I grew up.
a lot of open spaces, but no wilderness.
But hey.
to each their own, right.

Mrs Xue, who speaks Mandarin, and English, who use to be fluent in Japanese....is now learning French. Just spent 10 minutes trying get her to believe that zéro, the accent mark over the é is not the same as 2nd tone in Mandarin

They put you on a reclining cycle to get flexibility and range of motion back. I have been working on this for 3 weeks
Pedal forwards as far as you can go, reverse and go the other way as far as you can go
I have not made any full revolutions..until
In an 8 minute routine, the number of full revolutions
August 25 I finally got 1 full revolution going backwards
August 26 I got 8 going backward
August 27 I got 16 going backward
August 28 (today) I got 42 going backwards and 33 forwards

Lots of national parks are, unfortunately, very crowded. There are some with few visitors -- but many of them are overwhelmed today.
Some of the Shenandoah National Park feels like being in a city anymore...
We should be good. We live in the northern part of the state.
But when the Hurricanes come we get tasked with working the shelters and then afterwards going down south to help with the aftermath.

This place cracks me up sometimes.
I am guessing not the Hurricane talk though.
It will be a wet week for us, and no sharpie needed to include us in the fallout
