I consider the adventure to have begun the moment I close the door behind me at home. Loving tearful goodbyes with granddaughters and my daughter at the airport. Crazy rush all last night, about 45 minutes of sleep trying to get my place ready for my renter who’s awesome!
Did I mention that my friends threw me a surprise going away party at coffee night? There were about 30 wonderful women with smiles and hugs and some of us and cried!
I was ready as I’m going to get! I’ll have four days in Phoenix playing with the grandchildren and camping out in my son’s backyard with my trail gear. LOL I’ll pack everything up each morning and set everything up again each night. This should help me get into the routine but I will need on the trail.
You have no idea how excited I am! 30 years of wishing and dreaming and reading and planning and hoping and …
I am actually making it happen!
I can’t even think about all this without either jumping up and down or crying. You know… I expect I’ll be doing a lot of both on the trail.

Congratulations, Bunny! See you soon!
I wish we’d had a chance to connect before you left! Will love reading your updates as you meet your next life’s challenge. Best of luck to you, my friend. Happy hike!
BTW…Suggested to O we might take Klaus for a road trip later this year and maybe…just maybe…me able to meet up with you at a location along the way. We didn’t get a chance to turn his wheels last year, so he’s itching to travel. 🙂 Perhaps we can plan something for when you’re in PA or NY in a few months. We’d love to offer you a night to sleep in a cozy VW camper!
Safe travels to you! Count O and I among the many who will be following your every step. Congratulations!
I am SO proud of you, Bunny! You are really inspiring me to look at my own goals and dreams.
Bunny, it was great to meet you at PHX this morning. I’m so intrigued by your story and have read your blog from start to … “start” I guess you can say! I look forward to keeping up with your progress. You are an inspiration to all women.
Jill! It was such a delight talking with you in the line for security in the Phoenix airport! I was so excited and you just mirrored all of my enthusiasm right back at me. It was such a joy being able to share my excitement with you! Thank you!
