[pct-l] Re: Getting off work

How does someone make the time?  Sometimes you can work out a leave of 
absence,  otherwise you just quit.  Its not that hard, and people do it all 
the time for reasons far less compelling than for making a five month life 
changing pilgrimmage.  What are your priorities?  Sure my career took a hit 
since I hiked in 2004, but I re-evaluated what I wanted to do and have 
since had much more success both making strides towards my professional 
aspirations and making the most of life.

Just keep in mind, that in the words of Chipper, "Long distance hiking 
ruins you for work".  I have no regrets, just satisfaction and dreams.
