Hello people! Chris here to share a little bit on our trip preperations and the what not. Before getting statrted I just need to mention that this is the first blogging experince on record for myself and I have to admit that I am still a skeptic. However, since the theme of our walk is to experience new things, places and people I guess I will make an exception.
The date for our departure to New Orleans is fast approaching. Jen and I have both felt like this is sneaking up on us. I can remember constantly saying to myself "We have plenty of time to get things planned and organized". Fast foward to December 18th and wow, we need to get the ball rolling. Our list of things to do still has many things that need to be crossed out....best get moving!
Yesterday Jen and I took advantage of a rare day off together and some beautiful sunny Colorado weather to go fo a bit of a training walk. All toghter we walked around 10 miles yesterday with a bit of weight on our backs. We both felt stong on the walk and good the day after. Hopefully this is an indicator to how we will feel when we begin.
Finally, a couple of thoughts that I wanted to share. As our trip gets closer I have grown more excited but also more nervous. I had a realization the other day that in so few words explains how I am feeling. I realized that once we depart, we will not have any keys with us. I know that sounds very trivial however, this made me realize that we will have no place of our own. On past trips, even longer ones we always had a house key or a car key... essentially a safe place to return to. This time around we will not and it is intimidating in many respects.
