The obligatory “going on vacation, wish you were coming!” post

Today I leave for Hope, British Columbia to attend a 10 day conference in the middle of nowhere. I’ve been going since I was three and unlike all my other trips, this one is uniquely different in the way that it is the closest I ever come to camping. Or the wilderness. Or a combination of both.

(Of course, I’m staying in a trailer, not a tent, and I’ll probably bring those hot pair of heels I picked up in California, but the lack of a hotel, city and internet and the possibility of bears and mountain lions makes this trip camping in the wilderness, Chanel-style.)

Despite the obvious setbacks of being in a location where there is no internet, I am terribly excited about leaving. We’re even bringing the boat up, and while I can assure you there will be no waketubing, I will sit on the bow, dangle my feet in the water and try not to tan. And it will be lovely.

Have double the fun for me, internet!

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

    I’m jealous! Camping seems so primitive in the information age, but I’m sure you’ll have an excellent time!

    I hope you’re having fun! Chanel-style camping sounds like the best kind of camping, if you ask me..

    It sounds so peaceful to imagine a place without cell phones or internet.

    That sounds like a great trip, even though not having cell phones or internet for 10 days does sound crazy lol.
