How long has it been?

Not really an out of state hike, but it will be an out of state walk on the beach. I'm heading to the coast (Pismo) for a few days to relax with my bride of 32 years. I was VERY young when I got married!

Have a great week!

Nothing like a little foreign (out of state sand) occasionally. We like Mexico in the tropics but we don't go to the big tourist destinations. The chicken buses will get us close to where we need to go and they will stop anywhere along the route, not just designated stops. I always take my girlfriend and a couple of packs, that is all that is needed.

I remember Pismo very well and I appear in some home "videos" that a young ladies distraught father took of me when I was 16 and he was running me off. He made sure to her displeasure that her vacation was very boring. Mr. Green

Tim, it has been almost 10 years since I have been to the Caribbean. Where did you go?

We went back to St. Maarten, with day trips to Anguilla, Saba and a small island called Prickly Pear off Anguilla as well. I started doing a write-up but only got to Tuesday on the trip. Hopefully by the weekend I may have it done. I'll see if I can get some pictures up as well.

I posted some photos...I still can't seem to figure out how to get one on the cover!

It was a nice and relaxing time in some cool air. Now I'm ready for the mountains!

Awesome pictures YH! Some time on a nice beach and a nice clean hotel room would be kinda fun I think!

As for your high light picture.... just go into your album and decide which pic you want to use as the high light and click on <edit phot> beneath the individual picture. It will give you a drop down menu from which you click on high light photo and you will have a high light photo... I am not sure why it is not just setting you up with a default one though cause it usually just sets up the first photo as the default high light photo then you can change it if you want.....

My wife is just not a backpacker, so I will have to suffer through occasional hotels and real food. Sure it's a sacrafice, but I'm just the guy to do it. angel

Life is just so hard sometimes! (I wonder what other hardship I can "endure". Very Happy

I would be interested in hearing of nice, non-tourist beach towns in Mexico that would be worth checking out...if anybody knows of any.

Has anybody been to Costa Rica, Panama or Nicaragua?...though it has been a few years, I used to backpack and surf down there from time to time. Very beautiful countries with a lot to offer and not expensive at all. One trip I went alone for two months--saw all three countries on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts and only spent $700. It was an amazing time.
