I'm Going To Disneyland. Yeah!!!

This years vacation has been dedicated to family. Mistress has scheduled us to go to Disneyland next month which is very exciting. We will be there for three or four days staying just off site at some luxury hotel. Neither Mo or Mistress have ever been there and its been about 17 years since I have been there myself. It should be fun. I am bringing comfortable shoes.

I have been getting phone calls the past week or so from my Californian fishing posse. They all went to Bend, Oregon and fished the Deschutes river. Monster hatches and salmon size trout awaited my compatriots. My friend Matt, using a (I gag on the word) fly rod, caught a 30 inch rainbow that weighed six pounds. That is once in a life time folks.

They seemed content driving back but I would have thrown a tantrum making a two year old proud had I been with them. They did not go to the Deschutes brewery, only one of the finest microbrewery's in the country. For shame. That would be like going to the Grand Canyon and not looking down.

I suppose this is a year of recovery in many aspects. I am not doing any more races this year and I am not doing any big fishing or backpacking trips either. Next year perhaps. I already have Ironman Arizona next year and don't need any vacation for that. Maybe I can get in a ten day at Yellowstone? Oh or a quick trip to Machhu Picchu? Fish the Frazier river in Canada?

But first I must brave the Pirates of the Caribbean, not scare myself to death in the Haunted Mansion, plug my ears in It's A Small World and spin myself silly on the Teacups.

Ah, the life of a boy with dreams.
