  1. Michael - You are traveling light! It is hard to believe that this is all the gear you will need! It doesn't look like 26 pounds but I guess it will feel like even more when you have it on your back all day.
    Have fun! We're so glad you are taking the opportunity to follow your dream! We love you! God bless you and keep you! Love- Mom and Dad

  2. When you list swishy pants I can only think of the pants that George Contanza wore that made swishy noises when he walked! Good luck and we'll be following along on the blog!
