The package with the minimum year of service costs $270. We'd love to have one of these units, but it wasn't in my budget for the trip. @Mrs. Keim – http://www.findmespot.com is what many adventurers use for GPS tracking of their status and safety.

And what if when I woke up out of the nightmarish dream I wasn't in a panicked state of mind and immediately thinking about you and how I hadn't heard from you tonight, and wondering where you were and why you hadn't called me? What if you had a way of always communicating with me regardless of your cell phone (which in muy opinion is inept!)? What if your mother donated to you enough $$ so that you could purchase a piece of equipment that would actually allow you to commuicate whenever you wanted to? What if your mother donated enough money so that you could buy some sort of tracking GPS device that you could keep strapped to you or attached to you in some way? I would be willing to donate enough money to your cause for that specific reason. So... what if you listed specific items that you were intending to purchase for your adventures and people could actually donate to help you purchase those specific things? I don't really feel like donating money to you so that you can fly in a bunch of super-models..., but I do feel like donating to you so that you can communicate at all times! What if you sent me a telepathic message right now to tell me that you were safe and well? What if you sent me a text message telling me that you were safe and well? What if you could send a message by GPS system showing me your coordinates and also telling me you were safe and well? What if there is a simple solution to the communication gaffe that is keeping me awake tonight and praying for my son's safety -- not that I would ever stop praying for my son's safety even if you did communicate with me? What if Ryan actually researched a communication solution, found out exactly what equipment was needed and let his mother know what it was and how much $$ it cost and what if his mother bought it for him and also sent him some extra cash so he could ... I miss you Ryan, and I am going to continue playing the what if game. What if Ryan is safe and well and sleeping peacefully under a beautiful and calm night sky while he is letting his sopping wet cell phone battery dry out because it fell into the water today and that is why he couldn't call me? What if I could go back to sleep now knowing that he is strong, smart and always prepared with the art of anticipation as he journeys down the great Mississippi? What if I acknowledge and remember that Ryan is always in God's Hands and surrounded by God's Pure Light at all times? What if I breathe in God's Knowing that all is well with my son Ryan? What if I let go of the worry and believe the very best for my son, Ryan? What if my son Ryan always knows that he is dearly loved by his mother forever? What if I go back to sleep and dream of Ryan paddling down the Mississippi in a sturdy (with the latest technology)non-inflatable kayak? What if Ryan meets the girl of his dreams and they fall in love and they get married and have 4 children and they all go kayaking together? What if Dad build Ryan and Kayak Cradle for his children? What if Ryan invents a kayak for horses? What if it is time to go back to bed because this is getting ridiculous? Goodnight, my Ryan, wherever you are: The Light of God surrounds You, The Love of God enfolds You, The Power of God protects You, The Presence of God watch over You, Wherever You are, God Is, and All Is Well, Thank you Father-Mother God, Amen I love you, my Son. Mom Ok, Ryan,

This game was created by 2 women who have a multi-million dollar coaching/marketing biz...go figure! Here's the thing-we are doing more than nothing, we are actually intending as we what if...that's the cool thing. It feels like nothing because we are so 'programmed' to work harder, longer, get burned out and then think, 'whew, any less stress than that and I must be lazy"...nahhhhh, old programming. It's beneficial to call this 'reflecting', having fun, etc... Ok, all you WHAT IF'ERS, where are your stories, let's at least entertain each other with some comments. Happy August to all.
