Forest Hostel- should I do it?

One of my friends has been travelling to hostels all around the country for about two years or so. We starting talking about her travels, and she told me about an amazing treehouse hostel in Brunswick Georgia.

I plan on going not this winter/spring, but the winter/spring of 2008 (she told me to go in the winter because it doesn't snow there, the weather is calmer and there's fewer mosquitos). What do you think, should I do it?

Of course! Why not! What have you got to lose?


What an adventure. I would if I were young again.

Come live in a treehouse for a while with me Terri .

If you are allowed to write while there, I say go for it.

Oh yes. They actually have a little electricity, they wire it through the tree, so I can write on a word processor. But just to aid the rustic feel, I'm going handwritten for a week.

The only drawback? The shower is 20 feet up in the tree with no shower curtain.

Go for it. It will be a great experience and maybe something to write about. I need to start doing things, vacation and whatever, even if it is the spur of the moment. That's it, I’m making it a New Year’s resolution start living on the edge.

Careful, people die after saying that.

But yes, everyone should break away from the scheduled life from time to time. You only live once, and if that isn't true, then I still guarantee that you'll only remember it once.

I'm afraid my baboons will miss their momma, but if I were 17 again, I would definitely be there.

Take them with you and keep them in the chicken coop.

Do they sell a lot of binoculars in the area?

I sure hope so. If someone's going to be checking me out while I'm showering, they better have spent their money's worth.

Go tsuki, you'll love it! If you are sleeping in the tree house sleep in the middle!

Hey tsuki, if you make a cell phone call they throw you in the pool...leave at home!

Luckily, I'm a good jumper, and I will likely have someone under me to break my fall.

A little overnight stay in a treehouse hostel sounds fine and dandy until the mutant, in-bred backwoods family starts stalking you with the intention of making you their dinner or their sex slave.

This is more common than you realize.

Hello, you're talking to a West Virginian.

Everyone knows in-breds are afraid of fire and loud noises. Technically, it's your own fault if you end up being forced grabbing your ankles by some crazy hick.
