Having done 3 trips into Q, in the last 5 years,2 with just my wife and myself, 1 with another couple, I am in the last stages of packing for another trip. This one is with my cousin on a fishing trip, as my wife does not have as much time off as me, and needs it for a family commitment in the fall. This trip feels different, the shopping for and planning meals is different, the planning it's self is more low key, the packing is more subdued. I am looking forward to the trip, but in a different way than the other trips with "US".
As for the solar shower chat, we take one with us all the time. We us the lake, but nothing says refreshing more than a warm shower.
