We received two large boxes via UPS from National Geographic this afternoon. We got the final itinerary, detail about each location, roller bag suitcases, back packs, waist packs, flashlights, bug repellent, rain poncho, travel alarms, and assorted ointments and balms. We also got the list of our fellow travelers. Typing the word " fellow traveler" made me think of the 1940's and 50's and the red scare. Isn't "Traveler" the term the House Committee on Un-American Activities used to describe communist party members?
The trip is rapidly approaching but getting this package has made it more tangible. We are both getting excited. We still have more shopping to do but hope to knock out a lot this week when we visit Alan in Colorado. Alan claims the REI in Denver is huge. Good buying opportunity.
