For the next trip, someone suggested kayaking for our next trip. So
what would be the equivlent for kayaking? We live in Southern
California and we are looking for a 1-2 week long trip. I've also
look for some trip journals and can't find very many. Actually, since
we are all newbies any I'll take all the info you can through out at
me.
