Well, I must admit, the Vanessas are somewhat anxious about their trip. We were talking on the phone last night, and were kinda freaking out about what to bring. We just want to be prepared is all. We are both seasoned travellers, so I'm sure all will be just fine in the long run.
I guess we just don't really know what to expect. Five days of hiking/camping, lows of 32 degrees at night, 10,000 feet-elevation....we got this! Right?! I know a lot of people who have done the trail, so I know its not impossible, but its still somewhat intimidating! Vanny (thats how I'll refer to Vanessa M. from now on), hasn't even seen the inside of a tent! She is in for a real treat!
Anyways, we've been doing our best to prepare ourselves for the trek. Swimming, biking, and walking the Far West hills with our hiking boots and backpacks have become the norm in the last couple of weeks. I've also been reading a book called "The Last Days of the Incas," by Kim Quarrie. Its an exciting, informative novel about the overtake of the Incas by the Conquistadors. I can't wait to stand in the historical sites that I read about each night before I go to bed, should be amazing.
