So, we went tree climbing last week in Oregon.  It was a blast and we'll post pictures soon.  That was our last semi-major trip before our departure on November 16th.  From now until then, we have so much to do. 

We found what we think might be a great board for our new adventures in Palau.  We are looking for a really durable board, one that is easy to be successful on - where anyone can do it, and one that doesn't mind getting banged around some.

So, the boards we own are from Jimmy Lewis and we love them.  But a bit too expensive to throw a bunch out there.  So, we've stumbled across these GLS Soft Paddleboards.  We've emailed the folks in Bend and we may head to Oceanside this weekend to try them out.

Today is September 3rd, 2008.  Rachel and I have purchased our tickets - one-way tickets, that is - to Palau.  Yep, we're diving in, taking the plunge and just going for it.  See, we recently picked up the sport of Standup Paddling and we recently returned from a month-long adventure in Palau.  So, we've decided to try both at once.  We're heading to Palau to start a business, rather an adventure, called Standup Paddle Palau.
