Back from the road

It's been a few weeks since I made an update but I've been on the road for the last week or so. Me and the family took an RV trip to Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, and Denver then back home. Got home about 3:30 and had the RV cleaned up by the time the Chargers game started!

We had a good time and I got to hike a bit. We did a couple nice little hikes in Bryce and Yellowstone and we saw some bears. It was a fun trip but I didn't get in any training at all, other than walking around at 8000 feet. Which certainly hurt at times...

So now I'm back at it.

Checking flight info shows that Continental from San Diego to Houston to Quito at $637 looks like my best bet and I think I can hook up with Gerry in Houston and fly down with him. We're 108 days out and I need to pay my final portion of the trip in less than 3 weeks. It think once I do that I'll buy my plane tickets and make Kurtiss and Gerry do the same...

Hmmmm, now I'm thinking about the doctor. I have to get a Doc's permission for RMI's liability sake... I also need to finish filling out my forms and do a bit more shopping. On the shopping front I returned my Gators from the Rainier trip because they shredded at the foot loops. The new ones are in REI and I need to go pick them up. :) Other than that there are just a few things I need to pick up. I know one is another giant duffel bag. I have one and need a second. I'll also need a couple more pairs of drawers and socks. Oh, and my helmet and harness too.

Fun fun, I like shopping for gear! :D
