Swapping an iPhone for a Leatherman
Sherri got me all excited with her most recent posting on HermanWeb: our honeymoon. The wedding has been overshadowing our grand trip, but I can’t wait to get to Arizona and start our trip through the national parks (Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, Yosemite) and a few luxurious hotels/resorts.
Back when I was a camper at Camp Echo Lake in Warrensburg, NY, I went on a 4 week trip outwest, sort of like a teen tour. Of those 4 weeks we spent out west, we camped/hiked for 2 weeks and the remaining 2, we spent in amusement parks, touring cities, and staying in hotels. The trip was one of the best in my life and still reminise about it to my good friend, Adam, who I grew up with and also went to camp. Totally unrelated, did you know CEL has a Facebook group?
We’re going to be trading in our iPhones and Blackberries for Merrels and Leathermans, but it’s a change we welcome and should be an unbelievable trip. We’ll be live-blogging the trip from the road on HermanWeb but I’m sure I’ll post a few tidbits here. We’re not leaving yet (Sept. 2), so there shouldn’t be a posting slow-down on the blog.
A conversation I can’t wait to have:
- Darren: We saw Sequoia whilst outwest
- Friend: How did it go?
- Darren: Wen’t great!
- Friend: Did they give you a term sheet?
- Darren: NOT Sequoia Capital! Sequoia National Park!
