Tree Top Flyin': Self-imposed Quarantine May 1-2, 2009

About Us...

This is our travel blog... our electronic travel journal you could call it... documenting our journeys to new & different places. I called our blog, 'Tree Top Flyin'... a Jimmy Buffett reference that reminds me of traveling, & the adventures to be had with our newly acclaimed 'IFR' Pilot & his plane. We're a non-traditional family - living in non-traditional ways... and I love it that way. For the four of us life is quick & distinct... it's unique and adventuresome - but it's also very normal. We have angst, & we have laughter. We have pain and we have greatness. We're happy, and we're whole...this family, that is mine.

Home from Mexico... and enduring a self-imposed 48 hour quarantine. H1N1 had Jim worried about border closings, and I guess maybe - dying. So he packed me with him on this trip back to SLC. Our Doctors (my dad & RB) both advised, although it a tad over-kill that staying away from people for 48 hours was a good idea. 32 hours in, and neither of us show signs of The Swine! However definite signs of cabin fever had us justifying this climb up Mill Creek Canyon. Don't worry, we spoke to no one... no sneezing, no eye-contact. Let's be honest - this is ridiculous, but we're doing it anyway.

We'll be back in the real-world tomorrow!
