Plane tickets

I used Priceline.com to purchase my round trip ticket to Hawaii. Price was $736. Leaving December 5th returning home on march 14th. Leaving on a Monday and returning on a Wednesday. The amount for tickets were very day sensitive. If I were to leave on a weekend the tickets were $200 more and if I were to return on a different day weekday over $100 more.i checked with airline regulation and will be able to bring everything I need. I'm taking my mini stove that uses fuel tabs compared to mini fuel can due to regulations tho they are very similar in weight in my bag. Bought at foldable trowel and rain cover for my bag and have been still looking for a sleeping pad, hiking boots and a few clothing items. I will post soon my complete list of gear and how to seal tent seams. Thank you for reading and please leave comments!

Just set up my blog

preparing blog and social media for Hawaii Backpacking Adventure
I will be leaving December 5th and will be returning in late March 2012. I will be attending gatherings, working on organic farms in exchange for food and education using wwoofing, going to couch surfing and maybe sum hitch hiking. I will be sleeping in a tent and will be traveling solo. I am getting a smart phone soon to help me on my trip with staying connected, directions, entertainment and to blog. I have been researching equipment to bring and how to backpack. This will be my first backpacking experience and will be my farthest leap from home. Making bussiness cards with contact information to give to people I meet along the way. I hope to provide information, entertainment and I really want documentation of this part of my life. PEACE AND LOVE YALL
