Are you KIDDING?!? The chance to walk across the countryside over a span of weeks (all in stop time) carrying my gear on my back and camping out every night... Starting time when I need to do some grocery shopping... If I feel tired, I just take a week off and read a book... I could even walk comfortably down the highways and freeways because there would be no cars moving on them... That would RULE!
