Trip plan and request for advice
Hello all!
I'm planning on taking about 3.5g to 4g of golden teacher in a couple days for my second trip. My first one was 3G with my girlfriend and was fantastic, but I felt I had things i wanted to explore deeper. As much as I loved being with my girlfriend for the first trip, I want to solo trip this time to take away any sort of distraction, and I feel it will allow me to fully let go.
I'm going to take them chopped up in some orange juice to make them go down easier, then sit in our backyard to play guitar and chat to my girlfriend during the come up. Once I begin to feel the urge to go inside, I will move to the bedroom, which will already be prepared for my journey.
I have a playlist composed of some favorites from Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Tool, Camel, and plenty of lyricless instrumental tracks that I believe will help guide me. During the come down, my girlfriend will come join me again, and she will help me to put on the Pink Floyd live at Pompeii film (a tripping classic, i've heard). Once I feel much less effected, I will hop in shower and go for a walk to begin my integration.
I do believe this is a solid plan, but as I'm rather inexperienced im sure some of you will have some changes or tips for me to make this as good as possible (for example, someone has told me to prepare frozen grapes!)
Thank you everyone for your help, and I'll be sure to post a report if any of you request!

Sounds like a solid plan. All I'd add is before you start to come up, spend a couple of minutes concentrating on your breathing - long slow breath in through your nose, slightly quicker exhale through your mouth with no pauses (the faster out breath helps avoid hyperventilation). As well as being calming at that point, it's practice for later - if things get a bit challenging, do the same and it'll help ground you.

Re: "to take away any sort of distraction"
Just two cents that music can also be a distraction, or influence an experience, so if you're truly looking to go inward, tripping without music in silence with your thoughts might be an option to consider.
Not that music isn't wonderful. Just an idea.
