Holly jumpin'...."T" minus less than 10 weeks

It is ASTOUNDING how quickly time passes.

Man! I'm starting to sound like a broken record over here I know.

The excitement is building and I realize there's still much to do. Firstly, I need to reconsider my backpack. At first, I had hoped to take my old faithful "Eureka" ~20L pack. However, it's coming onto it's 12th year and may not be up for the voyage. In addition, I've decided to camp rather than race from hostel to hostel. Therefore, it's been recommended that I get my mitts on a Bivouac. This is like a tent and a tarp so will provide shelter in the event that "à la belle étoile" isn't a possibility. I welcome any suggestions or hints from those seasoned campers out there. Actually, I would like to appeal to the camping connoisseurs to see if one of you might be willing to lend some of your gear. I am particularly keen to obtain a Bivouac for 1, compact sleeping bag and/or ~20L backpack. Every little bit helps and I greatly appreciate anything you can offer.

Adventure here I come!!!!
