Well, it seems the sun is shining and I've been offered a house sitting arrangement in Costa Rica. And it looks like it could be an indefinite tenure at that...
One problem----I've committed myself to thru-hiking the AT with my wife in 06'. She's already forgotten about that and is ready to get on down to Costa. I, however, am clearly interested in moving--but considering all the time, money, effort I've put into planning the thru-hike--I'm confused about my agenda. Likewise, I've got a home and car to get rid of if we're leaving...
I'm now in the position of trying to figure out how I can potentially leave earlier (april 9 was my planned day) on the hike , and do it faster than normal (approx 100-120 days). Anyways, I don't know where I'm going with this---but what would you do?
Should I forget the AT for the next few years? I like Costa Rica, but I've really got my mind stuck on this AT hike (not to mention all new gear). Paradise dilemma---
p.s-I'm aware anything less than 150 days is fast--but then again, I'm an everyday running fool...
