Here's a quick recap for all of my blogging friends:- I am not into sports
- I'm not a camper
- Roughing it is staying at the Holiday Inn
So guess what my next adventure is??
I'm HIKING FOR 3 DAYS in the AUSTRIAN ALPS. Lets have a CONVERSATION about. I'll be ME, and you will be, well......YOU.
Let's begin:
YOU: Wow, you're going hiking? How far are you going?
ME: There are several trails to choose from, and they range from 5k-13k each. The terrain can be extreme to easy - depends on which route you take. The goal is to hike 5 trails so I get the 'pin'.
YOU: Where will you sleep? OMG - are you tenting it?
ME: Uh...that's a big NO. I'll hike to an Austrian home where the family has agreed to share it with hikers. They feed you and give you a place to sleep for a fee.
YOU: Sounds creepy, kind of like the movie "HOSTEL"
ME: Agreed - it does sound murder-esque, but I'm going with a small group so it should be ok. UH OH.......every scary movie ever made starts with a small group people. Crap.
YOU: Do you even have hiking gear?
ME: As of 1 hour ago, I am the official owner of ugly practical shoes new hiking boots and a lesbian style backpack, thanks to JACK WOLFSKIN and $200.
ME: Next weekend. Hey - do you want to guest blog for me while I'm gone?... Yes? Awesome - send me an email at hot.pink.combat.boots@gmail.com
YOU: You are KU-RAZY. You don't camp, you don't like to be dirty but you're going to huff it for 3 days in the Austrian Alps with a backpack and stay in stranger's homes?
ME: Yes and it is crazy, but I already committed to go so there's no backing out now. It will be an adventure with major bragging rights. I can only imagine what kind of postings and stories will be generated from this trip ('hikers fashion faux pas' and 'whats that smell?' come to mind). 9 days and counting!

You will have a great time! And in case you need an extra guest blogger let me know!
Have so much fun! The Alps are beautiful!!! :)
I think you're going to have fun! Please be careful! It's so cool that you're getting to stay in a real house. We want to see lots of pics!
I also don't like getting dirty.
I wish I was more like my s-i-l (who is a Girl Scout!). I think the husband would love it if I said, "Honey, let's go camping!" I think he would fall over. :P
P.S. Would love to guest blog for you, but I might drive readers away! ha ha
I think it sounds like fun and will be so beautiful. I cant wait to see the photos and read about it all.
omg you have guts...me I did the camping thing and it was so not cool. Try to tell me where I'm supposed to plug in my hair dryer?? In a tree? Hmmmm, no thanks.
Good on you though, I hope you get some amazing pics. And take a weak friend with you, they generally get picked off first in the movies :) Just kidding!

So jealous, I would be excited and nervous for the same reasons you are. Take lots of pictures!
When my husband and I went to Peru for 2 weeks it was like camping but the beauty of the place and the people was worth every uncomfortable moment and then some.
Be in the moment and enjoy ;)
Have fun and take lots of photos so I can be super envious! Also I bet the scary murder family will at least make you a kick ass last meal! :) The best part about staying in a B&B (that and meeting odd characters)
Lol! I was never much of a nature girl until I moved to Arkansas, but now I love to hike, I'm even getting used to some of the gear, of course, I usually wear one of the very stylish headbands I picked up in Italy. It's actually a dream of mine to design a line of "Fashionable Traveler" accessories....which would include a rugged, but very chic backpack.
Have a great time.

Girl you crack me up! "lesbian backpack" ahHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH. I think you'll have a great trip, despite everything you've listed in that first paragraph. It'll be an adventure for sure!! Can't wait to hear about it!
YAY! I'm so proud of you venturing out...and I'm kinda a camper..but a lux Rv really doesn't count I think and thats how I roll. I think this should make for some good bloggin' from you girl. Can't wait!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The adventure side of it should be a blast though. All the other stuff... well, hang in there! You'll be fine, provided the family you'll be staying with doesn't... you know... murder you in your sleep or something ;) j/k. Can't wait to hear all about it!
