Making a list and checking it twice. Quite appropriate for the time of year. My heart is broken and my soul is stinging, but my spirits are high. I’m scared, anxious, and nervous - but most of all excited. Soon I’ll be camping alone on snow capped volcano in the Andes and climbing ancient trails to the famous lost city of the Inca. How could I not be excited. Going to pick up my tent and sleeping bag tomorrow.
