Six days before take off

We are getting down to the wire and the excitement and nervousness are setting in. The travel part is the exciting part, I have done enough of that to know how fun it is to experience new things. It is the physical part, the part that involves hiking over 110 miles in 12 days on uncertain terrain that has me nervous. I have done some pretty challenging hikes in the past six years but each year I get older I have to remind myself of how important the physical preparation is for each hike. I always think I should have done more but  then I remember the support and companionship of friends takes you where ever you want to go. There will be five wonderful strong women by my side so I say let the challenge begin!!
