Most people think that their trip begins when they head for the airport. Not so. As soon as you sign up, your dream becomes a reality. The time has come to buy that down jacket you've been wanting for a while, and to get that great pair of hiking boots. It's also time to spread the topo-map out on the table and trace the route of your journey. It's also bragging time.
