My good friend Tina recently announced to me that her husband Mark dropped a bombshell on her. Inwardly, I panicked. Just what kind of bombshell? Death? Terminal illness? Job loss?
“He says we’re not taking any more vacations without the kids.”
The granddaddy of all bombshells.
I am pleased to announce that Jamie and I are running for shelter from our little stink bombs early Friday morning. We are going backpacking in one of my favorite destinations from my travel writing daze: Moab, Utah. This glorious long weekend for two will include sleeping on the hard ground, hauling 40 pounds on our back and hocking up a lung on the trail. Because I, of course, am not completely cured of my latest ailment.
And because that is our idea of fun….
