Big Sky Montana Meets the Exuma Cays!

 This post is brought to you by some new friends of ours from Big Sky, Montana. Trust me, Whitney...I'm trying to figure out a way we can come and see your neck of the woods :) Whitney and Will were some folks that I sent out while Dallas was out on one of his trips, and I actually brought them back in while he was out on the next trip (the ASA ones). Very rare that folks visit us and never meet Dallas, usually its the other way around. They were so great! Joss & Emit really enjoyed getting to meet them too. They were great entertainers for the boys on the drives there and back, thanks guys. Whitney wrote: 
 My husband and I visited Exuma in April and rented a tandem kayak and miscellaneous camping gear from Out Island Explorers. We live in Big Sky, Montana and after a snowy winter, we were ready for the beach. One day we were dreaming of the perfect vacation. We decided it would be "camping and kayaking between deserted islands".
 Since we did not know where to begin to look for this type of adventure, we simply typed the phrase into Google. Destinations in Figi, Indonesia and then...Out-Island Explorers in the Bahamas appeared.
 We assumed the adventure would be out of reach financially, but we were pleasantly surprised that Tamara and Dallas made the experience possible by renting items individually plus camping on the islands is free! When planning, we did not know what to expect and Tamara was a great resource. She was so patient and informative.
 By the time we landed on Exuma, we were confident and ready for the adventure. If you have not visited the Exuma island chain, nothing can prepare you for the pristine, breathtaking beauty. The trip was better than we could have ever expected. We kayaked between islands, camped and explored.
 When Tamara picked us up we were full of stories and laughed when we realized we had not seen another
person for six days (the length of our trip). It was a stress-free, once-in-a-lifetime, fantastic experience. We're already making plans to return someday with family and friends.
 Thank you the Out-Islands team. You're running a professional, reliable business in a place where
everyone else is on perma-island time :)
 We look forward to showing you around Montana when the boys are ready to ski on snow! All the best!
