Hello everyone.
My husband has been talking about walking this trail for over 35 years —- since he was 20 years old.
But, life’s problems alway seem to get in the way, don’t they?
He’s been amazing through it all —-dirt poor newlyweds, raising children, life’s ups and downs, wins and loses, and then my unexpected devastating medical diagnosis …. so his beloved hike somehow became a “one day I’m going to” story he still tells new friends.
And now, another blow…
Just as we started to take a breath…. the youngest turning 20…I’m doing so much better health wise …..financial worries lessening……the job he’s given his life to just let him go due to “budget cuts.”
Just like that.
Welp, no more excuses!
He needs to do this.
He needs it.
There is no better time than right now.
He doesn’t see it yet, but I think what they did is actually a blessing in disguise.
Our troubles will still be waiting when he gets back.
I need to give this to him.
We live in Texas
I just don’t know how to get him there… where should he fly in? What trains or buses should I book ? Any suggestions on where or how long to stay to recover from jet lag?
And, how do I do the return flight when I don’t even know when he’ll finish?
Starting sometime early to mid April 2024 would be perfect.
Thank you all
