It's All About the...People!
with one or two exceptions, there is a common theme in all the postings on this thread: I'm going fishing with my wife/brother/sister/son/daughter/grandchild/buddies/fish-in folk--you get the idea.
the trip that has me really dreaming these days will be with my sister-in-law. she grew up ocean fishing with bait, and her husband and sons all learned that and flyfishing as well. now the sons are big, and the house is full of this fly fishing stuff, so she's going to round up some of it and we will go out to my favorite river and have two days of fun. no husbands, no children, no phone, no cooking--and plenty of fresh air, beautiful natural scenery, and time with a person i really love and whom i see too little of.
is that Heaven or what?
