This is not the first trip that I've planned, thought I should let you all know. I like to plan in stages or phases. My first phase is to just fill up my brain with as much info as I can. I'm currently reading two guide books and surfing the net like crazy. In fact today I spent a good 4 hours on the Internet alone.
So far, I've read about the entire route and focused on the towns that I plan on stopping in. Most have good pubs and at least a campsite to stay in. I even figured out rough budget, right now with airfare its around $1800. Alot can be shaved off and hopefully airfare will go down alittle.
While reading about all the campsites and pubs I found a interesting thing. Alot of the places along the Way are similar to those that live off of the AT. If this is true then I know we are going to meet some great people. Maybe some that can help us out. I really don't know how I'm going to wait another 6 months. I know my senior year will be good but I think this trip will be the highlight. I have but one thought to help me thru these next few months, I think it was Buddha who said, "living outside of the present is dangerous" or something like that.
Catch ya on the flip side.
