Glad to hear it Kim. I know the feeling of occasionally not being excited to leave for a trip, but you NEVER regret it once you’re out there. Especially when you’ve got Jalapeno Cheese bread with you! Have fun!

I also find that it works well to pre-package all the meals, stack them in your pack in the order you’ll eat them and stick to one container hot water soaked meals. A simple example would be a baggie of oatmeal mixed with cranberries, brown sugar, and a few dried apricots. All would get dumped into your bowl / cup / eating vessel and boiling water poured over. The dishes are minimal, and the time is even less.

Bring on the recipes too!
