Our “shore leave” is Sedona is little longer each year. This years nearly 3 month long stay was a welcome break from the Cold of Canada and from traveling in general. As much as we enjoy our time in our van Sparty, he is a tiny little box.
At Sedona we were able to join a health club and learn Qi Gong and Tai Chi. Nosotros tambien fuimos a un grupo conversacion en espanol. And for $50 we signed up for a guest card for the Sedona Library. That meant we could reserve and catch up on a number of books and DVDs.
We enjoyed golfing and Mrs Ram took some lessons.
And hiking with little fear of ticks is one of the biggest things we like here. 
MeetUp and Sedona Westerners are good groups to hike with.
And we were surprised to find good kayaking at Willow Lake in Prescott and Blue Ridge Reservoir.
But all things come to end and the road called again. Yet the call was not as strong as it had been in previous years. Sparty was ready to go but we were not so sure we were ready to leave.
