The Best Bird's Eye View Around

Want to see Idaho and Montana from the best vantage point ever?  The Route of the Hiawatha is for you!
This rails-to-trails conversion offers some of the best views of the area you can get without your own plane.  They got some great coverage lately in the USA Today - check it out here: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2010-05-20-bike-rail-trails_N.htm?csp=usat.me


Our travelers to Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho (both individuals and groups) have loved this activity - plan for about 2.5 hours to really enjoy the ride. What makes the Hiawatha so unique are the 10 tunnels and 7 trestles along the 15-mile ride.

See their great photos athttp://skilookout.com/hiawatha/ And, for those of you like me who are seriously athletically-challenged, you should be pleased to learn it is (mostly) downhill!

New Turf For Me, Old Hat For Some

Well, I am headed to Las Vegas in a week for PCMA's Annual Conference. Have been to the conference several times.

Vegas, never.

Ok. Once. I changed planes in the airport there. Doesn't really count except on Foursquare.

This time, its for real. It will be great to be there as an attendee, simply responsible for getting myself from Point A to Point B as outlined in my schedule.

But it's VEGAS. Domain of Distraction. Land of Lights. And me, the Minion of Multitasking...

Should be fun. And educational.

Stay tuned.
