On our third day in the Sinai last year, it must have been about 140° in the shade. There were dozens of flies around our meal (Kim says there were thousands.) Kim finally had enough. She said “Next year we are going to have a civilized vacation!” Up to that point, I almost had her agreeing to a six day cattle drive in Utah.

There was a little debate about a destination and Hawaii was agreed upon. For me, it was not the adventure vacation I was hoping for, but I could do a dive and some hiking. We put a lot of work into planning this last fall and found some cool things to do. Since this replaces the cattle drive, we are doing quite a bit of horseback riding.
