That did go through my mind after I posted - most other places they are welcome as they cause so little environmental damage. Shame as they are such great beasts to have about.Ridseard wrote:Alas, pack animals are not allowed on the Appalachian Trail.trisha wrote:Sounds like you need packing llamas...

- Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

No long trips this summer (re: 6 week old little princess), but:
I'll make my first trip to Ireland on june 20. Just for the weekend for a concert in the Moat Theatre in Naas (county Kildare). I was asked to come and play a few tunes - it doesn't get better than this. The trip is only for the weekend, so i hope to make a longer one soon.
Then it's off to the motherland (Netherlands) in july
Whistles and flute are required luggage...

Nothing major so far. Have to wait and see what the job situation is like later in the year.
Will be working two renfairs in June and July. Of course flutes and whistles will attend as well.
Would like to do some more US Civil War battlefields this year if possible. That is what I've done for the past two years.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I havent had a real vacation longer than a 3-day weekend since 1998. This is not likely to change in the forseeable future.
However I may be getting some freeway whistling in as I get carpooled to summer school 50 miles away three days a week.

Next week I'm driving to Nova Scotia and sailing a friend's boat back to Connecticut. Should be a bit of an adventure.
It's my vacation for the year.
Being self employed is a mixed blessing when it comes to vacations. You can take as many days off as you like, you just don't get paid for them.
Cheers,

Just got back from the Great Rocky Mountain Session up in Lander Wyoming. It was a ton of fun, and very likely the most adventurous I will get this summer, aside from a little local camping and fishing. I did take pictures, and while I had a whistle with me when we went hiking/rock climbing (I just watched the rock climbing part) I don't think there are any pictures of me playing or even holding a whistle. (*duh moment*)
There is a very slim chance that I might make it to Puerto Rico this summer, as a friend of ours occasionally gets free airline tickets in connection with his work. But we would still need to work out accomodations, food, and ground transportation once we got there, which would be a bit tricky on our budget right now. Yet one never knows I guess. If I were to go, a whistle would definatly make the trip with me.
Ah... summer....

Ah, just got back about two hours ago and still feeling the jet-lag. We flew into Dublin, took the ferry to Wales, drove through England and spent the week near Killin Scotland. It was awesome!! We had a little cottage on Loch Tay. The most scenic place we ever been! Incredible adventure. We saw castles, did a little Nessie hunting, went to the Highland Games in Blackford, did an excursion to Edinburgh and explored castles in Wales and Castle Campbell near Stirling.
As going to Dublin was a last minute surprise - we were flying stand-by and discovered Dublin was our only option to get to the UK - I didn't have a chance to do a lot of preplanning. However, I did make it to a session that evening and picked up some whistles from the Walton's store and a Feadog as well.
wonderful trip . . . wish you all could have been there!

Amazing... Welsh llamas, this beats both Swëdish møøses and a flock of Peruvian llamas.trisha wrote:That did go through my mind after I posted - most other places they are welcome as they cause so little environmental damage.

Now, Trisha, what's the advantage of a packing llama vs. the old European donkey, or the more American mule?
