I am willing to go to a campsite with toilets.<BR/><BR/>(challenge: can you place the quote?)<BR/><BR/>Leora -- just make Aliyah! (You know you want to!) Then you can bring your kids camping with us, and leave your husband behind with all the others!<BR/><BR/>quietusleo -- we're not sexist, you can go camping with us.<BR/><BR/>Miriam -- next summer!<BR/><BR/>Anon -- I also miss camping in America. It is a completely different experience! Glad to know that Hof Habonim is a (relatively) good campsite. Where is it? (I'll go with you, if you tell me who you are!)<BR/><BR/>Gila -- definitely doable. I'm psyched just reading all these comments.<BR/><BR/>skash35 -- all right! (but you have to reveal your secret identity)<BR/><BR/>Rahel -- you're in!<BR/><BR/>You Know Who -- Yeah, it's true. The campsites here can be a bit overcrowded. It still feels like getting away to me. <BR/><BR/>(except for that one time, when a giant group invaded the campsite and started listening to really loud music at 1:00 in the morning! But that really was unusual!!)<BR/><BR/>So, stay home. Next year, I am going camping with all these fabulous women!RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-43461248583850065322008-08-28T00:13:00.000+03:002008-08-28T00:13:00.000+03:00RivkA: I love being cut off from the rest of the ...RivkA: <I>I love being cut off from the rest of the world!</I><BR/><BR/>Um... aren't we talking about Israeli campsites here?<BR/><BR/>Where it's so overly crowded with rude, loud, obnoxious Israelis that if you stretch you'll accidentally poke one of them in the side? Those places are about as private as an overpopulated trailer park, but without the trailers...<BR/><BR/>"Cut off from the rest of the world"? You've <I>got</I> to be kidding. Sorry, but I'll take my bedroom any day over an Israeli campsite.

There is nothing funner. We do go camping in Israel and it is a totally different experience. Crowded, dirty and the other campers do not have good camping etiquette or any camping etiquette. We camped on Hof Habonim last week and it was fun, and relatively clean and pleasant. I'll do that with you.

(My friends in the states think I really changed). <BR/><BR/>But even if my husband likes camping, we should do a women's camping. So fun!<BR/><BR/>But I must go to to a place that has bathrooms.

Then I would need someone to watch my kids, then I would need wireless so I could work remotely, we would need to do it in between your chemo (or maybe we could just camp out behind the hospital?).<BR/><BR/>My husband doesn't like sleeping outside. At least he likes hiking. Maybe, maybe, maybe we'll get to do some more of that at some point.<BR/><BR/>Hope you can find some compromise outdoor fun.Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-89677496672487161652008-08-26T23:55:00.000+03:002008-08-26T23:55:00.000+03:00If I can just convince That Guy I Married to eat s...If I can just convince That Guy I Married to eat supper outdoors, it's a major accomplishment (he hates the insects).<BR/><BR/>On one point I really must side with your husband -- indoor flush toilets are, well, better than pretty much all other options.A Living Nadneydahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365370597831368062noreply@blogger.com
