considerations

so ive been working on getting everything together for this trip. its not like im not taking precautions to be properly prepared for this. but left and right its "how are you going to eat?", "why dont you go this way instead", "why dont you get a real job". im going to do this, and its going to be awesome. so go ahead and try, but i am serious, this is happeneing. ive been practicing my distance skating. ive done about 20 or so miles a day all week, and its getting easier. its still a few months til start time, so i figure ill be good to go by then. i got emails from dave cornthwaite and elliot at skateone, and those really made me feel like this trip is within my grasp. dave cornthwaite skated across australia a few years ago and across england before that. crazy right? anyway im trying to figure out whats a lightweight meal thats high in carbs and calories. i wanna keep my backpack as light as possible, while not leaving anything out that i think ill need. elliot sent me a link for www.whoisadamcolton.com. this has been the most helpful info ive gottne so far. anybody who wants to see what this is all about, check out his page. anyway, tired as hell, going to go pass out now. deuces
