Tomorrow marks the one week out mark. I’m getting a little agitated, nervous, excited…a variety of feelings. Went to REI, the outdoors store and picked up some essentials. From what I’ve been told, our digs will be a bit modest so we were advised to pick up some camping related gear. I am now the proud owner of two, not one…two light-weight, backpacking chamois bath towels as well as a chamois wash cloth. After I wipe off the limited supply of water I will be provided for bathing, I will break out the Turtle Wax and be able to bring my bald dome to a lustrous showroom shine.

Topping off the list of REI buys are an LED headlamp(good for journaling at night or spotting the indigenous arachnids that will likely occupy my room), one camping sporknife(the only danger with this are the serrations connected to the tines. There is a very good chance I will cut my lip every time I have a nosh.), a bush hat (to protect the newly buffed and waxed dome), a money belt(for the very limited amount of dollars I’ll have on me), bug spray (arachnid and other wiggly critter destroyer), poncho (gotta have a sidekick) and a/c adapter.

That’s it for now. Gotta go search for dry land…at the Water World Stunt Show. More later…
