God bless iPhones. In the rush to finish up work/pack/etc I forgot about posting our finalized vacation plans. The plan is to spend today – wed in the high sierras and then spend a few days relaxing in wine country before we come back home.

Got in late last night after a pretty eventful day of traveling… I’ll fill you in on details later…Havent figured out the wifi situation at our place in mammoth lakes yet. Hope to figure it out later so I can post some reports in the evenings, but if I can’t figure it out I’ll post once we get to San Fran/napa. Time to go track down and check out the breakfast and then go find some WILD trout.

This summer has been busy… and seems to get busier by the day. I haven’t been able to take a day of vacation in nearly two years and figure a few days of R&R (and of course some fly fishing) are long overdue. After checking the weather forcast for the next few days:

I’ve decided the vacation is definitely necessary. With only minimal time on the water the past couple weeks and a predicted lousy week and half coming up… It’s time to get outa here for a while.

THANKFULLY, Reese and I have access to some frequent flyer miles that need to be burned.  I’m not the most accomplished traveler around… so I thought this would be a good oppurtunity to tap into the collective experience of everyone reading out there.

These are the options:

What do you think? I’ll definitely be looking for some fun water to fish, but having things to for Reese to enjoy (other than fishing!) will be just as important!! We’re thinking Aug 1-8th will work out the best schedule-wise. Can’t wait to hear your advice!
