<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>I noticed that most guides recommend that you should start to practice
<BR>walking months ahead of time. However I know of some people who hardly
<BR>practiced walking at all. To those of you who have made the trip: Do you
<BR>think it is absolutely necessary to start months ahead of time. What were
<BR>your experiences? I'm about to leave and I probably haven't done as much
<BR>walking as I should have although I am young and in good physical condition.

<BR>Thanks,
