Do it now! That's how I ended up with Noel 4 years ago and I'm doing it now. I live to travel and connect with others and I've done it for a long time. Sometimes more responsibly than others but hey. By the time I get home in time for a kid's climb on May 21st, I'll have been gone over a month and covered a LOT of ground. I think it's a great idea to plan your moves around tree climbing events. It's great networking and as you know, the people... I wish you the time of your life and I hope you can do it for longer and travel farther than I can. It's an awsome lifestyle and I know you can do it. Have a blast!
