I'm not from your area, so can't suggest places, but the things to do sound great. I love camping and fishing.

Sounds like a great vacation - I hope to get to vacation in that area someday. Have fun and good luck planning. I wish I could help you plan but I support you on the idea!
 I looooove zip lines!

Oh, oh oh! I want to go fishing! That's one of my most favorite things to do... even though I don't like to fish. LOL
I absolutely *love* going out in the boat, relaxing on the water, and maybe even reading a book or something.

Sitting on the confused couch waiting to learn what a zip line is.

A zip line is one of those steel cable lines way up in the air that you ride (downhill slope) from one point to another. Some go from just a hill...down, others go over canyons, water....etc.

Thanks Janet!
Well no wonder I didn't know! You'd have about as much chance of getting me to do that as you would getting me to jump from a perfectly good airplane!

We are def. going to Napa Valley. We decided that today! Wine tasting...here we come! I don't think the zip line thing is going to work out cause I can't find any courses in any three states!
 Thanks for the comments!

At this point I wouldn't care where I went or what I did, just as long as I could go.......................ALONE! I'm tired, emotionally exhausted, and I want to go somewhere relaxing. I'm still waiting for school to let out (15 more days) and hope I have enough money so I can go to one of those spas you all talk about. That sounds like heaven to me....someone making your body feel so good and not have to worry about 'faking' it. Ah what a life...!

Zip lines are SO much fun. (Interesting fact, my hubby is actually qualified to build them and has done so before!) I used to work at a camp that had a 750 foot triple zip line and you could go down with two other people at the same time. It was TONS of fun. I also really enjoy camping, hiking, and horseback riding. It sounds like you are going to have an amazing vacation!!
Wish I could go, lol!I attached a picture of the very bottom of the zip line, but you can go here to see more: Doe River Gorge
