Plan It

It is not enough to just figure out the logistics of the thing, but planning and organizing have helped me feel more comfortable traveling solo...well, except for my four-pawed companion. I have had plenty of time to overthink this matter...but, having had time to process and consider all the recommendations, I'm hopeful I am resolved on the best options for the equipment, enjoyment and safety of my trip.

Considered, but not limited to:

Making sure the house is managed and cleaned, bills paid, friend/family set up to track my phone and car, call credit cards, right amount food/clothes, Sassenach's pjs/toys/vet visit, camping equipment, bedding, vitamins/medication, Podcasts (recommendations/downloads), books (recommendations/downloads/paperbacks), sketch pad, game book, downloaded movies/tv series), Oregon wines for my stop overs, foam roller, yoga mat, running shoes, hiking shoes, Tevas, Birkenstocks, hats, sun block/bug spray...you get the point. Oh...my Tevas just reminded me to pack my bathing suit!

Two days left and my checklist is slowly getting ticked off. Night prior, I just need to fill up the water supply (6 gallon jug, shower, water bottles), get last minute produce, do the last bit of laundry, bathe Sassenach, tank up/pack up and load the Chevy.

Deep breathe, and I think we will be good to go!
