Much better to go alone. You can set your own pace, not worry about keeping up with others, enjoy the solitude & contemplate about the wonders of nature, etc. Don't be concerned about connecting with people. I can almost guaranty that you will meet some of the most astounding people along the way. It will be the trip of a lifetime! Howard Mendes, NYC</FONT></HTML>
