<p>so which OA do you guys think you're going on? or atleast thinking about going on?</p>
<p>i chose the catalina island one. if you've never been there, i really highly recommend it. it's a beautiful island a few miles off the coast of california, and the beaches there are really cool. i got scuba-certified there, so it has a lot of memories.</p>
<p>I've put island first, sea kayacking and canoeing II joint 2nd. Hope I get one of those! Catalina looks great</p>
<p>i put yosemite, sea kayaking, and moderate backpacking!</p>
<p>I highly recommend Sailing OA, for a trinity of reasons. It's the largest of the OAs, but is divided into 3 "groups," so you meet many more people but still have the intimate experience of the group. Also, most of the stuff on the other OAs, excluding the obvious Disneyland/SoCal expeditions, the sailing people will also get to do because the boat serves as your "home base," and you're only on there to sleep and travel between Long Beach/Catalina and sometimes eat. Finally, you get to become a swashbucklin' pirate! What's not to like?</p>
