Reflections on preparing for the trip

As one who went last year about this time, I am looking forward to returning. Their was a lot of work that still needed to be done there, and I am looking forward to seeing what has been done, as well as contributing another drop of work in the vast ocean of what needs to be done.

I have been doing a lot of reflecting on last years trip as a part of preparing for this trip. I have also been immersed in last year's trip from editing and completing video that was taken last March.

One of the toughest things in preparing, is trying to figure out what is most necessary, and trying to not take too much. As I will be taking a computer (to help keep the blog going) and a few cameras (still and video).

With all of this I need to fit in a sleeping bag, work cloths, and a variety of necessities. Its not going to be easy.

I am getting quite anxious for Sunday to come and for us to be on our way.
