Ticket - I have a ticket from Seatac to Osaka leaving on March 22 and returning on April 1.
Gear - I have collected almost all the gear I will need. Still need to get sports tape, sewing kit, sunblock and shaving kit.
Training - There ain't none of that going on here. I'll have to be satisfied with a couple of 3 hour walks today and tomorrow to test my gear.
Mental preparation - Here's the problem. I've got so many things going on with family, work and hobbies that I have not taken the time to prepare myself for the trip. Quite honestly, with only 3 days remaining I doubt that is going to happen. Maybe I'll switch gears somewhere over the Aleution Islands. Regardless, this is clearly a case of bring the body and the mind will follow.
Things to do on March 19
1. Scotch guard poncho and jacket.
2. Finish gear collection.
3. Pack gear into back pack.
4. Two hour walk in the afternoon.
