Jeffrey, that was a fine read. Thank you. I have similar plans that
are not too far into the future. I enjoyed it, particularly because
this aspect of launching into this kind of adventure is seldom, if
ever, expressed here. Sure, we read about the vibrating driveshaft and
our attempts to divine just which wheel bearing it is that is
rumbling, etc., but we rarely read about what is happening inside the
man, while he packs his gear for his great adventure. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Miguel
