One hour until I board! I'm struggling with this keyboard; I'm sure it will be the first of many during the next month to challenge my patience. Speaking of patience, I think this flight is 16 or 19 hours long. When the length is in the double digits, a few hours makes no difference!
...I'm excited for this adventure to begin!
To answer some questions, I never fell out of the boat on purpose. I did, however, "swim" a few rapids, which is a lot of fun! Not as many as Adam, Adam, and Josh...you guys were always in the water! :) Other guides swam when they hit "bouncing rock" (it's the rock, not you!) Sleeping in a tent was the GNARLY...one line of P____! The last two nights we ditched the tent and slept under the stars. Despite the skunk-sunflower seed incident, I loved sleeping sans shelter! I'll explain...Adam woke up to a skunk's rear-end a foot away from his head. He managed to drive it away by clapping. In the morning, someone discovered his jacket in the next camp over. Turns out they were gnawing at the pocket to get the (Israeli) sunflower seeds out. After he chased them away they came back for the jacket...just took it with them! We didn't get sprayed, but unfortunately that pocket is no longer functional!
From skunks to elephants...I'm off!
