**REPOSTING THIS HERE. I HAD ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS ON FICTION FIRST ORIGINALLY.**

I'm at the airport, typing this on my phone, waiting to board the plane for the biggest adventure I've had in years. For the next 10 days, I'll be backpacking through northern Wales.  

Believe it or not, I have everything I need in my backpack. (It only took 5 tries!) I've got the usual--clothes, toiletries, shoes--plus a journal and paperbacks of one of my favorite fantasy series: The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. The Chronicles were inspired by medieval Welsh legends, so what better companions to take with me?

If wifi allows, I'll post here periodically during my trip. I already have few friends traveling with me in spirit. What's a few more?
