It’s still 2 weeks away, but the excitement is already building for my annual Montana trip. What will I do? Where will I go? What should I bring? To me, preparing for a big trip is almost as exciting as the trip itself. There’s always so much hope and wonderment thinking of all the possibilities.
A couple weeks out I like to get a list of must do’s for the trip. This gives me a chance to pick up any special clothing or items I may need. This year I have a big hike planned to the ice caves near Lewistown, MT. The trail gains 2,200 ft in the first 3 miles. I guess this means I need to start hitting up the dreadmill on max incline! How do you normally prepare for vacation? Make checklists? Go shopping?
On one of my trips to Glacier National Park, a little more planning would have been very beneficial. However, it would not have been nearly as entertaining to all around me. I didn’t realize we would be doing any hiking the first day so I decided to wear heels. Of course my real shoes were at the bottom of my bag and everyone was talking about the family of mountain goats just up the trail. I wasn’t going to miss those goats, so I off I went high heels and all!
Good luck! I can’t wait to hear all about it!
Thanks! I’m so excited!!! I’ll be posting daily on my trip.
