Just a few days before I leave for my 2nd stage.
From Alice to Ocean ( Alone Across the Outback )
As I look back on the trip now, as I try to sort out fact from fiction, try to remember how I felt at that particular time, or during that particular incident, try to relive those memories that have been buried so deep, and distorted so ruthlessly, there is one clear fact that emerges from the quagmire. The trip was easy. It was no more dangerous that crossing the street, or driving to the beach or eating peanuts. The two important things that I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavor is taking the first step, making the first decision. ... Camel trips, as I suspected all along, and as I was about to have confirmed, do not begin or end, they merely change form.

Just breathe and walk. Don't overthink it. Eat when you're hungry. Rest when you are tired. Humans have wandered for eons, we have the biology for this!
ReplyDeleteWear a hat as often as you can. Sunburn is no joke on long hiking adventures. Don't forget to sunscreen the ears as well. You might want to let the embassy know your basic itinerary, just in case something goes wrong, they will know where to start looking.
