Summers Finally Here

It has been joyous. Back in March, with the temperatures already cracking the mystical 100 degree mark I began to wonder how hot we would go this summer. Then, "Spring" came. I guess. I'm from the South, Texas and Florida, where there is no real Spring. Only heat and humidity. I grew up thinking the "feels-like" temperature was a scientific form of measurement. Anyway, Las Vegas really cooled down. April and May have been incredibly moderate. I was beginning to think if this is Global Warming or El Nino then I would like a second serving. "May I have some more? Please."

Then yesterday came and reminded me why there are no trees in the desert. They melted.

So, while peeling my sweaty back from the leather seat, I thought of houseboats and how marvelous that would be sipping a cool beverage while puttering along the picturesque coastline of Lake Powell. I dug out my handy-dandy directory and created a houseboat itinerary for all of us this summer. Wouldn't it be fabulous to escape the sweltering heat on your very own houseboat? I can help.
