For three days I have been emailing and phoning rafting companies in NS and Maine. No one will call me back, no one will email me back. All I want is to go rafting this SUNDAY or MONDAY. Not Saturday, not June. I know I don’t have a work group or a family to bring. I know it is no ones fault that I work 3 jobs and can’t plan far enough ahead to satisfy most people, but I am just so frustrated with the lack of response. If anyone knows of a tour that is going out May 17th or 18th, please please email me back. I wear size 28- 30 clothing, which has presented a challenge in the past because of the unavailability of large sized “survival suits”.
