Just the opposite? You mean you have beautiful green hair and dark eyes?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ha! Good one

I am what one could describe as light and fluffy LOL or blonde and blue eyed.

Jayne, did you get some big storms this evening? We got some serious rain and flooding in the streets. I don't know if this is typical for Fl or just the weather lately.

It's been as dry as a bone all day. I'm hoping for some rain tomorrow so I don't have to water.

It rained cats and dogs overnight. My dad who lives two miles away didn't get a drop. But then I've seen in rain in my front yard but not my back!

dwoodliff - Thanks for starting a good post. Several months ago, there was a long, long thread where many of us introduced ourselves to each other. I'll try and find it and top it for you.

Emd: Thanks for the kind words. I am a he, not a she, and have been missing from this forum for awhile visiting my kids and grandkids in southern Utah.

Hi Dwooddon! I've benn hoping you'd come back. You were the one who sent me to Zion and Bryce when I posted last winter, when I thought I wanted to fly into Salt Lake City and hike around there in March (I knew zilch about Utah). I ended up taking your advice and booking the time in March to go to Zion but my hiking buddy cancelled due to work commitments (I can't complain much as she is also my client and I am self-employed, and we were working on the same project). We rebooked for mid-May, but I just cancelled that too. However, I have decided that come hell or high water I am going on that trip in fall, either alone or with her or with my husband. You gave me just the right answer at the right time, and it turned into a real desire to hike that area, and now I have the books, the hikearizona.com website, I follow Utahtea's posts, and it has opened up a whole new area to me for hiking. How lucky you are to have kids and grandkids to visit there!
(BTW, the post you topped is the one where I followed the old nose and learned about Utahtea's pet moose,among other fascinating things.)

OliveOyl

Hi emd...I used hikearizona.com for the Sedona hikes we did last fall. Great resource!

You will LOVE Zion and Bryce. Go go go. Of our group was torn between which was our favorite. They are so different, but both absolutely wonderful. Zion had more diversified hikes, but those hoodoos in Bryce...gosh. Wall Street...gosh. Be sure to do a trip report! Oh, I've got a fair number of pictures in my website of both areas. Link is in the thread dwooddon topped.

Hi donna, nice to meet you!

I too, did a double take when i first saw your name, thinking you were dwoodon. He helped me alot last summer when i planned the 'paradise on the pacific' part of our out west road trip (orange county, palm springs, anaheim).

This is a wonderful group of 'TRAVEL JUNKIES' and i'm always inspired by everyone's travel experiences. Have fun!

This is pretty funny to read on a Friday morning. I noticed the similarity of our screen names a couple of weeks ago. Actually, I think some of my ancestors spelled their last name the same as your's. I haven't had as much time for Fodors lately, so I don't know what "gibberish" people have been attributing to me. You don't sound like a person with whom I would mind being confused. There is enough room for all of us DWs on here, so welcome aboard.
