It seems like as we get closer time moves slower. 7 more months will be a grind... work is still consuming our lives. I'm not sure what we'd be going thru now if we didn't have the Big Trip in our sights.The whole thing has recently become much more of a reality. We are making purchases (new sleeping bag, tent, laptop, stove, etc.); we have a list and we just keep checking off the items. We finished our 3rd round of shots for Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies and Hepatitis B. Yea... it's getting real.
The Trip has always seemed to be an "idea" or a "plan" but it is has now become actionable... with tasks and real issues that need to be dealt with.
I used to fall asleep thinking about work related issues most of the time. Now... I would say the majority of nights I fall asleep trying to calculate how heavy/light our packs will be during our treks in Patagonia and New Zealand.
Now it's just time...
