I've obviously been distracted from this space, which is unfortunate. Even though I have a teensy tiny audience (thanks for reading you two!), I really do enjoy recording my thoughts here. The bizarre word blog comes from web+log, and that's precisely what I need to keep my musings coherent and orderly.
In any case, I have been wanting to share the next big step in my and Jeff's lives, but was waiting to do so until after I explained to my bosses. Now that I got that out of the way, I can state here that Jeff and I are leaving New York in about a month to take advantage of the fact that we are still young and able to pursue our backpacking passion. We will be hiking for five months from the Canadian-Montana border all the way down to Arizona, through some of the most beautiful places in America. Winter will be spent in Hawaii, where we will scheme something else for 2011.
We started dreaming up trip ideas while we were still out on the trail two years ago and knew that we wanted to do something big at this point in our lives, we just weren't quite sure what that would be. After months of rigorous research, planning, training, food preparation and dehydration, I'm excited to say that this trip is really coming together. The process has been intense and sucked up most of the free time and energy I would have liked to spend fleshing out thoughts here. Suffice it to say that I will share more about the coming months before I fly out in a few weeks.
