At that time, we had no kids & no pets, nobody directly dependent on us. That figured in our conversation on the drive to Hilo. Nowdays, we might come to a different conclusion, but I'm glad for the path we chose then.

it's all whimsy and adventure -- but the reality is that you're not just risking your own lives but also the lives of potential rescuers.

just food for thought. I'm not about to say one should lead a safe and sterile life, but there is more to it than direct dependents.
