Question for the week
|
Posted: 07/29/08 Earl and Blackee, our guide, are out fishing their heads off, but I'm taking a break. After yesterday's trophy fish day, my arms and legs are talking to me and saying, "Don't you dare get in that boat!" I obeyed. It's Day Two of our second session, with Day Four sneaking up. Then it will be time to leave. This is not an inexpensive vacation; and before we arrived, Earl and I had pretty much agreed we wouldn't return next summer. But our resolve has faded, and we're signing up again tonight. Cost of bug spray: $2.45 Cost of airline ticket to get here: $650.00 each Cost of entire trip: You don't want to know. Cost of the memories: Well, this is the part where that credit card commercial inserts "Priceless." I disagree. "Priceless" is a vague number used to encourage maximum credit card usage and then justify it. It may be less sentimental, but I prefer to evaluate the cost of the memories against the actual cost involved. That we're coming back next summer says it all.
