Not Planning on Planning too Much

My departure date is getting closer every day and I slowly tying up as many loose ends as I can in preparation. It's funny, I realized today that my lack of a need for detailed planning should actually serve me well on this trip. I have read a few books and lots of posts on the internet by people who have their schedule planned down to the hour. They know exactly where they want to be by each date and push themselves to follow their plan. I have to wonder how these people handle the inevitalbe delays and modifications to their schedule that they encounter.

I think my approach of determining the broad strokes and figuring out the details as I go should serve me well on this trip. I'm not scheduling food drops or even anything beyond the first couple of weeks. I'll plan as I go and adapt to the reality of the situation as it arises.

I'm getting so anxious to get going that it's actually getting hard to go to sleep at night. I kinda wish I was on the trail right now. Just another month and a half!
