Well, I've nailed it down I guess. Purchased a ride on good ole' Amtrak arriving in Gainesville on the 11th of March. Planning on starting down Springer on Sunday morning! Woo Hooo! (Woot Woot?)

Gravity and Danger Pea
Purshed my ticket to Atlanta today. March 1st start here I come.
We are hoping to get a cheap stand-by from London around March 1st.
We are then driving to Pensacola to pick up some gear we had shipped to my mom's - staying there for a few days and then heading back to Atlanta. Haven't arranged our ride to Springer yet though.
I hop on Greyhound 8:20pm this coming Thursday, can you hear my heart beat? Everyone around me can!
Everything is exactly as it should be. This too shall pass.
TICKETS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED!! Yippee!
We fly out of London on March 3...we should be on the trail the following week...going to Mom's first in Pensacola!
WOW...this is all coming together...
Amendment to my original post....it seems that on $45K a year I can't sponsor my own husband of 5 years for a visa to hike the AT, so <<hopefully>> my brother will come through so we can get my husband's visa that will allow us to walk in peace and harmony on the AT.....
We are coming at any rate....
what a drag....
Thanks!Originally Posted by MoBeach42
Well here's an update: My brother came through with some sponsorship paperwork!! hooray! BUT...my husband sent all the paperwork off to the Embassy in London....and forgot to put his passport in with the paperwork! DUH!
Anyhow...his passport has been sent off...so now we are waiting....only 12 days until we leave!!
