Getting Ready

It's hard to believe that our trip starts in just over 5 weeks. Pretty exciting, but also a little overwhelming. I have gained a new appreciation for the Internet at home with all of the little things it's helping me do in preparation for this long trip. And now I have my own blog! My main reason for doing this is so I can write long entries at times without feeling like I'm overwhelming people I am emailing. So I think I will do both this time around. Feel free to email me or write comments on here while I am away. I'm sure when I am trekking in Nepal I will only get to email or blog occasionally but there is still access.

Yesterday I realized that I did 8 hours of hiking over about 4 days this week, but that when we get to Nepal I will be doing 6-8hrs a DAY. I am destined for sore legs, back, shoulders, feet etc. but am sure the scenery and locals will more than make up for it. Before we leave I also need to get my anti-malaria pills and a few shots, buy traveller's insurance, pack our summer house up and try to do a lot more hiking. I hope they change some of the traveller's restrictions for what we can bring onboard too, Gavin and I have about 10 flights in the next 8 months!

That's all for now.
Melanie
