I'm both excited and nervous for what awaits us in a few short days! I have completed my last practice hike, tweaked my final packing list, my backpack is filled, and I'm ready to take on the trail. I hope my backpack is ready to take on the baggage handlers at the airport. I have never checked my backpack on an airplane before, so I mummified it in plastic stretch wrap to secure all the loose sashes & ties for added protection.
Hopefully, we will both survive the entire trip 😉
