Practicalities

[jim allen]

You will hear from fellow pilgrims that you should not worry.  They are
correct.  Don't worry, all things will work out and those that don't will be
memorable for you.  As for toilet paper, bring one half roll and take out
the center cardboard so it will be easier to pack squawshed.  When you get
near to running out, buy another roll.
