The process was simple: pay $18/hr, guides provide you jackets, how-to's if you've never kayaked before, and the kayak itself. The only thing I did not like was how expensive it is for this activity. To do this with a family, it's quite costly when it adds up especially if you go for a few hours. You can't really make this a half day event unless you have deep pockets. Overall, really fun photo opp experience, great initial date spot, and something to definitely try and do while living or visiting Seattle.

I can finally cross one more thing off my list. I rode 200 miles in two days. This event cost me about $180 including entry fee, parking, lodging, and return transportation for myself and bike, Andre. Since I was slow, I really didn't ride with anyone the first day. But, it's ok! Keep it in mind, there are 10,000 riders participating STP every year. You will never be alone. The best thing about the ride was there were rest stops, food stops every 20-30 miles and awesome volunteers cheering along the road. It was a great experience! Lesson and learned from this ride, be prepared. If possible, ride longer on the first day. My buddy, thrill the killer and I are going to ride it again next year! Enjoy us!

I remember a few years back it sold out in March and that was with a 10,000 rider maximum. I could tell there were fewer participants when I arrived Saturday morning. Normally there was a huge line to get into the UW parking lot. Not this year. I didn't have to slow down until I got to the actually parking area. As far as the ride went, great weather and good support. Kudos to the volunteers at the rest stops. Fewer bike shops participating and very few vendors at the finish line. I was hoping to see some bike equipment, but the only two there was the bike saddle company and the puncture proof tire company. The good thing about fewer participants is that there were fewer ill-prepared cyclists to avoid. Looks like the political activism of the Cascade leadership hurt membership.

If you're not riding a Rodriguez, you're probably on the wrong bike…read more I've bought and sold dozens of bikes over the years, trying to find my fit, to no avail. Turns out, I just needed the right people to build it. Last winter, I worked with them to build an all-road / endurance frame. I spent some time building it up, popped in for a fit, made a few tweaks since, and honestly can't imagine a bike fitting better. With Rodriguez, I got to pick every single detail, and they walked me through it all -- patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in what I wanted, not what they thought I should want. They don't sell bikes, they build your bike. The bike and the experience were so good I sold off all my other bikes and am now in the middle of a second build with them for an ATB / adventure frame.

I just attended the Live Your Bliss retreat at Haramara Retreat Center in Sayulita, Mexico. I've…read morebeen a lot of places and participated in many different trip styles, and this has been one of my favorites by far. The location was serene, magical, and beautiful. The food that was included in the trip price (!) was delicious, healthful, and satisfying. Every activity during the week was carefully planned and extremely purposeful, however, there was no feeling of pressure to do things that were not of interest to you. The yoga was great. As beginner yogi I felt welcomed and confident even though advanced yogis seemed to be enjoying the classes and flows as much as I did. The yoga also varied daily. It was always interesting and I was consistently benefiting in various ways from the classes. Best of all, Silvia and Malia assisted in so much besides just yoga. There were chakra talks, happiness coachings, astrology readings, dancing, meditating, photo shoots, game playing and scavenger hunts. The days I spent in Mexico flew by faster and more enjoyably than I could have ever anticipated. Whether you are a hard-core yogi and spiritualist, or someone just looking to get away from the stresses of life I would recommend you to Alchemy Tours. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I will definitely be booking with them again!!

Last month I attended Alchemy Tours' yoga retreat in Bali, and I can honestly say it was the most…read morefulfilling travel experience I've ever had. It was hard to come back to reality, and not just in the typical "I've taken much needed time off to relax and it's hard to get back in my routine" sort of way... But more, going on this trip made me understand that there was a much greater disparity between the potential for happiness in my life and what I considered to be my "normal" state than I had realized - and that they were further apart than they ever should be. To me, the experience with Alchemy Tours can be divided into two categories: vacation and personal reflection. As a vacation, it was amazing. White water rafting through a jungle ravine, a relaxing bike tour through Balinese rice patties, beaches, exposure to local culture, great restaurants and a gorgeous place to stay that our group had all to ourselves. It was just organized enough to feel active without feeling too busy. Previously, I wouldn't have asked for more than that in a trip, and it was awesome in that way. But the part that really surprised me was the way Silvia's constant positivity, enthusiasm and no-pressure encouragement would really make me reflect on the person I am, and I began to conceptualize the things I could change to improve my life as a whole. To put this in perspective, I should say that prior to this trip I had not only never participated in a yoga class, but also had absolutely no idea what to expect in terms of the ideologies involved, and may even have dismissed any discussion centering around the word "energy." It's been over a month since the trip, and a day has yet to go by in which I haven't thought about my personal learnings from this experience, and I can't say enough to recommend a trip with Jake and Sylvia of Alchemy Tours.
