Chantal Kreviazuk said it best. And yes, all my bags are packed and I’m ready to GO!
Although it says something different on my online page, I would like to reassure people and say that I have reached my $10,000 goal! Right now, it’s 3:31 a.m. and I am already hearing from my anxious-out-of-love father that we have to go! So off we go!
And before I do, I wanted to make sure I wrote in black and white specific requests from a few supporters. This is to make sure I fulfill them:
1. Laura – you will see a rock in your hands when I get back!
2. Paul – I will avoid all and any monkeys. And may just punch a yak.
And to everyone else who has requested that I have fun and stay safe – you bet! I think I can do that!
Thank you all again for ALL of the incredible support. I will be thinking of all of you while I travel and will keep your well wishes close as I trek every step! 
See you on the 17th/18th (whenever I feel human again!)
Mary
