You know that lump in your throat? it's called excitement. im sure you will pretty much be ADD at work too. Good luck. Look forward to hearing about it.

Congratulations! I totally understand your excitement - I just got my reservation confirmed at the Hiker Hostel and although it may be a small thing, it solidifies my dream. Flight reservations are next...I head out on April 1 and am counting down the days

Thanks that is exactly what we are planning to do . To travel by train will give us a chance to see a bit of the country

Well, you won't see too much since its an overniter - 6pm to 8am or thereabouts - but its still a great way to travel.

Just remember to bring a bottle of wine, you have some of the best vineyards in your back yard.

So excited about the hike------GOOD LUCK ---- See you on the trail

I just love walking in the mountains in summer. there is something amazing about an early morning coffee watching the sun rise in the mountains. Looking forward to meeting everybody and the fantastic views

Be sure to bring Rooibos Tea.

Be sure to bring Rooibos Tea.

i will pack a whole box of rooibos tea (my favourit),and biltong and some south african snacks to keep us going. But we also want to have an american experience, tasting and eating away along the trail. we are walking so we can eat anything we like. (wendy,s ben and jerry ice cream) and anything else that sounds good.

if we meet on the way be sure to share a cup with us.

Mulungu, I'm no psychic, but I see a cheeseburger in your future! Good luck!

Have a great trip. Did you say you are finishing at Harpers Ferry? That may be quite emotional leaving your trail friends to finish the trek to Katahdin.

I think it will be southern cross ( my wife) is an emotional person crying in movies and at weddings. . But will bring along lots of Kleenex tissues. We would like to see a little bit of the west coast before our visa expires and my credit card shows empty. But I am sure it is going to be an adventure of a lifetime.

I will look forward to meeting you. I was in SA in December 1994, and still go there everyday in my mind.
