Ok  who has vacations planned this summer... anyone going camping.... I have made reservations at a lake only 1.5 hours away... Iam going every week for three days...  bought a kayak, going fishing and hiking....  then I will come down off the mountain and dialysis for 4 days straight....  I think I will be just fine.... hope the fish are biting..   The place I choose has cell phone reception so if I do get that call for a transplant .... I will beable to get there....  This is going to be fun.... first camping I have done in two years.... I use to go all summer long.... for most of my life....  I sure have missed it..... 

So what is everyone else doing this summer..... lets talk vacation or trip or adventures.....

We can't really afford anything big this year. It's starting to look like our trip to New York in October is out, and it's causing me a lot of anxiety, because I really really want to see my friend, Kelly.  We've been doing some little things, though.  I made Mom take me to Moncton in June, so I could see Stephen Sondheim's Company in the theatre. Last Thursday, we went to Moncton again to see INXS, which was pretty cool.  Moncton is only a 2 and a half hour drive away, so we can go to something there and come home the same night.  There's a zoo there that I'd like to go to, and across the street from the zoo is a water park that I wouldn't mind going to, if it ever warms up.

I went to Las Vegas for a kidney thing last weekend. Then came home for one day and went to Idaho for a week with my mom. Got to know my cousin's kids, she has 6 and they are fabulous. I don't have any other plans to travel but will drive to the beach a couple of times, and do some local hikes.
