You are correct, no camping or eating on the go. Resteraunts, and lodging along the way. Of course I want to keep it as light as possible, but 3 L of water is over 6 pounds already. Camera and bag is likely another 3 pounds. BUT I don't want to be wishing I had something I need and didn't bring. I am probably overthinking the whole thing. I guess it is time to lay out clothes etc and see how I am doing.
