So here is Nydia, one of my good friends. She is coming to Puerto Rico with me next week. In fact she’s going a day early just to be sure that we have someone to meet us when we get there. Something she planned to do almost from the day I told her I was doing the trip. You could’nt ask for a better friend. Nydia wanted to join us on the water as well but as I’m sure you know, it’s not easy or cheap to bring a kayak. Well we finally got our communication right and she is going to use my folding Trak Kayak as it can easily be taken on the airplane. The Trak kayak folds up and fits in a bag about the size of a golf bag with wheels so you can easily move it through the airport or wherever you want to go.

Today Nydia drove over from Milwaukee to my home in Baraboo to pick up the kayak and go for a paddle. So we spent the day frolicking around Mirror Lake near Wisconsin Dells. Funny when she was leaving and I went to say “see ya later” I realized the next time I see her will be next Monday in San Juan. Weird. . . .
