- When people say it will take 4 hours, pretty much realize it will take 5. Maybe more if you stop for lunch. I would recommend packing a lunch and eating it while driving.
- Rainstorms in the desert are few and far between, but we had the luck to experience one of them while driving (though not lucky for my dad because the wipers definitely were not in good condition. The smell when you roll down the windows is absolutely glorious, I don't know exactly what it is, but it is one of my absolute favorite smells.
- Jellyfish stings suck. Especially when it ends up being tentacles that swipe across your thigh.
- Nothing really beats sunshine when you are used to living in Spokane, Washington in the middle of winter. So two days of it is just wonderful.
- The desert is a relatively boring place to drive through for extended periods of time. Unless pausing periodically to go duning, which we sadly did not do. This involves driving an SUV (and having sand ladders in case of getting stuck) and just driving around the sand dunes. It's fun :)
- Kayaking is great fun, especially when you are slightly worried about what kind of creatures are swimming below you. Added fun is when you have a camera with underwater housing so you can take video of the ocean floor and reef. Such as the water snake we caught on film from our kayaks.
That's it for now! On to the next adventure: Prince of Persia (a really horrible movie, from what I've heard, but hey, why not?)
