Helloooo!

While I highly recommend a week in the Canadian wilderness to anyone, I do NOT recommend running your rental car into a median signpost on Highway 81 on the way home. DH and I were both so frazzled by the accident that we both need another vacation. And we haven't even gotten the bill from Hertz yet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eep! You are both okay?

Yikes, Jess. What a crappy way to end a nice vacation.

Everything before then was good, though?

We're both fine, physically. The car was a little banged up, but except for a blown-out tire, it was all cosmetic damage. AAA came and changed the tire for us, but since the spare was a doughnut, we could only drive it to the next town. Fortunately, AAA Guy was able to direct us to an exit that had three hotels and a tire place right off the highway. So we checked into a Holiday Inn for the night, bought a new tire in the morning, and got home yesterday afternoon.

Everything else before that was incredible -- we had the cabin almost entirely to ourselves, we had two great sails, lots of great kayaking, even more great lying on the couch reading...oh I want to go back. NOW.

I posted a link to the pictures in Beep Me, but they're here if anyone wants to see them.

[eta: Oh, and because one of my co-workers wanted to see the vacation pics, I made all the F2F and hair sets friends/family-only. Anyone who wants to see them, just join Flickr (it's free, and they don't spam) and add me as a contact so I can add you back.]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Welcome back, Jess! I am very glad that neither of you got hurt the accident. I hope that part of the vacation memories fades much sooner than the rest.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Welcome back, Jessica!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Jessica! Hi! Yay!

Sorry about the accident, Jessica. The rest of the trip sounds lovely!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

who's fault is it that I am eating French Toast?

sorry about the accident - you need to go back for another week to make up for it.

The French, clearly.

I know! In the meantime, I have this as my desktop.
