What's on your bucket list for travel? Rafting the Grand Canyon? Well, white water rafting wasn't on my list either. How I even ended up there is a bit of a surprise especially during COVID and now as I reflect on that happenstance - was I really invited to the Grand Canyon, or had I been summoned? There is a difference. Join me for a short time to experience the river, the sand, the heat, and the insights - THE Grand Canyon from the safety of your own home.

This is a travel memoir about an 8-day, 7-night white water rafting trip down the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon in 2020 in the midst of COVID-19 with no vaccinations and limited protocols. Nineteen guests, 2 guides and 2 assistants ventured through white water excited to be free of isolation and willing to tackle a trip that some had waited to do for over 18 months.
