The Journey Begins Tomorrow

I leave tomorrow for the 3 Day Breast Cancer walk. 60 miles in 3 days (or as I like to call it, the end of my life as upright being)...but I digress. It's not really the walking that has me worried, it's the two nights of sleeping in tents.

Me in a tent. In a sleeping bag. It boggles the mind.

Those of you who know me can probably guess I'm not really a camping kind of girl. Camping for me would be a hotel that doesn't have fluffly robes in the room or an on-site spa. I'm not exactly the outdoor type, you see.

This should be interesting. I plan on taking pictures. My biggest concern? The pillow. I bought a camping pillow, but I'm not fooling myself that it comes anywhere close to the pillow I currently use. Any thoughts or suggestions on this particular subject from those of you who have braved a night sans walls?

  2. I love camping. Grew up doing the tent thing for weeks at a time.

    Take your own pillow--screw the camping pillow.

  3. Yeah, bring your own pilow. You deserve it!

    On the other hand, you're gonna be so tired it won't matter where you put your head.

    That is roughing it! And don't let anyone tell you any different. I'm so proud of you! Not only are you doing a great thing for charity, you're going to be sleeping in a tent. Can you please post pictures of the inside of the tent, I've never seen one before. :D God speed! I hope you have a blast!

  5. Why camp when you stay in a bed and breakfast is my motto!

  6. Go Kristen! Good luck - and although I'm jumping in late here - I agree - bring the pillow!
