My Beloved, if this is all a dream, then i do not want to wake.

I can't believe i'm actually here! I'm actually in California already!! just a few short miles away from the beginning of an incredible journey. i already forgot how much i love san diego. I dont know why i feel so free here and so troubled at home. Maybe cause this is where i spent some of the best times with my fellow marines. I dont know. all i know is that Sunday morning i will start my 2657 mile hike toward Canada. Rick is gonna take me down to the trail head and drop me off so that i dont have to take the bus from the air port. this is fucking crazy!!! even if i dont finish or make it very far, i at least tired. and also it would give me the chance to go around the country visiting places i've always wanted to go. Basicially just rambling whereever the wind takes me. the freedom of the road! but thats only if i can't do the trail.
