Mags in the Rainforest The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everybody else!

I think it was last Autumn that l decided to commit to my journey to Peru. Mike and l had spoke about it periodically over the last 2 years We even camped out in the wilds of Wales to check out my mental, emotional and fitness levels. Because part of my trip involves going into the Rainforest on an expedition trekking through the jungle and ascending up mountainous regions. I,ve needed to get as fit as l can, l even lost a stone, unfortunatley through stopping smoking l,ve put it back on. At least l,ll be able to breathe better and l,m sure trekking round will help to lose that weight again. I,m not as fit as l would have liked, although l do seem to have a bottomless pit of endurance, so hopefully that will help a lot. I,ve worked very hard since last October, practically 7 days a week, my focus has been to save up for my air fares, spending money, vaccinations/insurance and basic equipment l need. I,ve also still managed to run my home and ensure there will be funds in my account to pay bills while l,m away. Overall l,m amazed at my journey so far and l,m still in England. My flight is on Sunday 22nd July 2007....
