ONE MONTH TO GO!

Exactly ONE MONTH from today, on April 15th, HB and I will be starting our hike at Campo! Shit just got really real over here! We already have all our gear bought, plane tickets booked, most of the food purchased. We even already have a Trail Angel waiting for us in San Diego!

Now comes the hardest part.... waiting game.
I'm often a pretty impatient person who is also very excitable, and the combination of my emotions is making it hard to sleep these days. I'm too excited to start the hike already! It's a good thing we still have a lot of things to do and plan in the meantime.

Here's what still needs to be done before we leave:

- separate what probably is about 100 lb worth of bulk foods into 2-person meals with many many ZipLocks!
- realize that we still don't have enough food for 2 people hiking hard for 6 months and go buy more food
- then package that food too
- buy solar charger for my phone and camera battery
- agonize over camera gear
- scrutinize every decision I have made about the trip and then probably go buy more gear.... Jesus....
- go to Post Office and pick up flat rate boxes every size
- pack around 30 boxes with food, socks, extra layers, maps, baby wipes, and many many more random things
- I need to pack up all my belonging and move them out of my room so my friend can sublet it while I'm gone
- buy more ProBars! Seriously, you can NEVER have too many ProBars!

How are you so delicious ProBar???? Nom nom nom nom nom....

Oh, and last but not least:

- hang out with all of my friends a lot before I leave because I will miss their dear faces more than my comfortable bed or fresh meals. In fact, I already miss them and I haven't even left!!!
