i like the idea of being out in the fresh air and being removed from everyone... what i dont like, is the bugs, the snakes, the lack of sanitation, the "having to biuld your own sleeping area"... i like the crisp linen and spa facilities at hotels.

however that being said... i have been promised a hammock.. so its getting more appealing.
