So I'm finding out that last minute gear additions are so very, very hard to prevent. It was easy to keep a light pack a month ago when I had a strict list of things to take. But now my thoughts are obsessed with "Well what if this, I should really take this, it's only x oz, I can always send it home" etc... ;)

I second Mt Squid's advice on the sunscreen. I spent a good couple of weeks burning my British skin off...
Everyone be safe and cherish the experience! :)

I plan to leave springer on May 3rd. I opted out of the thru this year, but have a vacation coming up at that time. I was just wondering if any one else is leaving around the same time?
Thanks in Advance!
