Three days to go

I'm nervous.  All today I've been hearing about people who didn't make it to the summit of the mountain.  I'm sure I'm going to forget to bring something essential.  What's a treking towel?  Should I take soap?  I've tried to make Anzac biscuits three times and they turn into ginger pancakes.  Is this a bad omen?  Up to London tomorrow and to parties in my treking boots and trousers, looking like a Yeti. My home is warm and comfortable and I'm going to spend a week in a cold tent feeling sick.

  1. skip the soap--moist towelettes will have to do. No bad omen either..you have gourmet taste buds. They're probably supposed to taste like army food. This will be a great adventure even if you dont make it to the top, which isnt mandatory for enlightenment, my sister. XXXXLinda
