Chunsoon and Kate in Casper, WY
In planning our road trip to Alaska, Kate and I have decided to make a few checklists. There are the usual ones, of course: camping food, hygiene products, camera equipment, books. But we want to use these 30 days as an opportunity for growth and reflection, not just fun. We want to return home a LITTLE BIT BETTER than when we left. Here is one of those lists (this one pertaining to physical health):
- Every morning before breakfast, 15 minutes of stretching
- After pitching the tent in a good place, and securing the food in a tree, a nice long hike or other vigorous exercise for at least an hour
- No more than three restaurant meals a week! (Kate says even coffee from a gas station counts!)
- Avoid processed and other junk foods
- No meat (we are packing lots of soy jerky for protein–it is highly processed, but protein is necessary)
- Every night after dinner, half an hour of meditation (for Kate) and writing (for Chunsoon)
- 15 minutes of stretching before bed
