2. Aug 22, 2006 Dateline: LAX

   After a week in Montreal shopping, touring, catching up with friends, and standing in line at La Ronde, Jess and I hop on the first of four planes that will take us to Lake Tahoe tomorrow morning, where we'll spend the last week of our overseas holiday vacationing with my mom's side of the family.

Today, after steeling our resolve and making a run to town for bottled water, propane and ice, we relaxed into the unwashed experience and made our first group trip out to the island for the year... only to be chased from the island by hordes of feasting blackflies. But now the electricity is back, and Marty has already made popcorn. Things are looking up.
