Preparation, perserverence and all those p's

Leaving for a year....

How do you begin to prepare for that?
Fortunately I have great friends with great ideas!
  • Lots and lots of granola bars, check
  • Special sheet to sleep on for urky looking motels, super check!
  • Tent, got it!
  • Two awesome backpaking bags, done and done
  • I just got my hep A shot #2, so I'm boostered up for life, and! I'll be booking my travel doctor visit shortly!

Now, there's the less precise decision making factors...
  • If we don't know exactly where we are going, how do we know which visas to apply for?
  • Where are we going anyways?
  • What do we desperately need to take with us and what do we not need quite so much?
  • Can teddy come too?
  • Are we talking malaria pills and bug nets? or a toured stroll through London?
The truth of the matter is, I have no FREAKING CLUE! That's probably half the fun.
We'll wander around with our heads cut off, and somewhere in the midst of it, we'll discover a passion for Buddha or yoga or peanut butter sandwiches and I guess we'll just go with it! I trust Rodolfo and myself enough to go with the flow. Whatever seems right will be right.

It's funny with jobs. Most often the exact thing you do for work is probably not what you want to run home to do at night or on vacatio...
