Rick's email says it all. Great price, great place, great people.

What more could you ask for? How about a toilet, hot shower, warm room and comfortable bed.

Although remote, the trip was not that rugged. Easily doable by anyone who can spend the day at the beach, shower outside, change under a towel, and go out for dinner without going home -- for 6 days in a row.

The Pure Days

A trip must be at least 5 days long for you to get one full day, a "Pure Day", not directly connected to your prior life. Anything shorter and every day of your trip you are either traveling, just got there the day before or are leaving tomorrow.

The Pure Days let you immerse yourself in the experience with yesterday and tomorrow. The Pure Days are special days and go the fastest. These are the days you are living a new life. This trip down the river was 6 days long, so we got two Pure Days.

Leave home, first day of tripYesterday was a travel day, still thinking about old life Tomorrow is a travel day, thinking about going homeLast day of trip, return home
