Tomorrow will be one week until we leave and monday will be one week until we push off and I'm ancy. Like I want to leave now. Dunno how I'll make it through the week next week...
Plan this weekend is to do the final prep: lay out all the food to repackage everything and break down packaging; hike this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon and if I can take it - Sunday as well lol; pick up final things like Kels's epi pen and bear spray (our's expired in 2009!). I'm even thinking of packing up my pack with everything as all the clothes I plan on taking I won't be wearing during the week so why not pack them ahead of time? If we can get everything done this week...then Kels will pick up the car rental (ain't no way we are trusting our hunk of junk car with another road trip!) on Saturday morning while I pack up the cooler. That's the idea anyway.
We also have a canoe river course next Thursday evening that we are both looking forward too. While we are confident in our paddling skills and each other, it doesn't hurt to be extra prepared and most of our experience is on lakes not rivers. Slightly different beasts.
Other than that, we have been going over maps, double checking gear requirements and making sure we get our stamina up to do this. I'm starting to feel my mindset adjust slightly and being organized has helped immensely with any nervousness that I've felt. Kels is just ready to go lol. Talking with co-workers who've gone, family who have had friends that have done it and researching those that have gone before us and left blogs, videos on youtube and boards that answer questions has filled in many of the blanks as well. So thank you family and friends!
I'm sure I'll update again at some point this next week...
