one more sleep in my own bed until august and i’m not sure how restful that will be. i’m all kinds of anxious. the to-do list is getting shorter – thankfully. and i’ve settled on what to pack – i was really struggling with this one. we’d been advised that capris would be fine. and then we were advised that we’d need long pants. the only long pants i own are jeans. heavy jeans. and then i saw the forecast.

so, i’ve decided to pretend that i don’t know nothing about wearin’ no jeans. to save me from having a heat stroke. because i am prone to those. i also think i’ll be packing every last drop of sunscreen i can get my fair skinned hands on, because a uv index that varies between very high and extreme – that’s skin cancer waiting to happen.

excellent call… i never will forget the day I DID NOT listen to my girl scout leader recommending no jeans on a hike in the heat… i simply ignored her since I was a much smarter 12 year old than a leader of young women. it rained, i was soaked, hot and miserable….
i have been praying for you and c15… have an amazing trip!!! very envious of you, envy is not good… happy for you and wish I could have an experience like you will have.
