Going on vacation next week; still need to pack luggage, find catsitters, etc., so probably won't post much (or possibly at all) for the next few days before we leave argh.
Big colorful rocks in southern Utah-- Bryce Canyon, Zion Nat'l Park, that sort of thing. We've been there before, about 10-15 years ago, but presumably there've been a few millimeters of erosion since then etc., so the hills will be marginally lower to hike up and around. Unless the erosion was overshot by tectonic elevation or something. Still, fun for all as long as the sunscreen holds out.
Bah. I no longer have any doubts wrt your hiking stamina. Sunscreen I dunno, having no awareness of whatever precautions you took this past week (in my own case, the results seem to be noticeable but minor peeling, but no significant discomfort to speak of).
I have managed never to have heard of Zion National Park, but I suppose that's an obvious place name; it is Utah, after all.
Hmm. I might take you up on that; I've left a phone message or two for weblisted catsitters, but if they don't call back within the next day or so, there may be some last-minute scrambling. Should we provisionally plan a dinner meet-up for Friday evening for possible key transfer (and regardless, probable dinner)?
Thanks-- I'm wondering whether to drag along my sheaf of hand-scrawled doujinshi stuff and a few reference books, but chances are that I'd keep getting stuck without web lookups of rare characters or weird grammatical structures. (Megumi's sentences are very long and complicated. Ack.)

Definitely.
Hm-m...
Probably ^_^
...catsitter - such a headache for me as well. Hope you'll solve this problem :)
