Congrats Sasquatch for making the best decision of your life!
Is this your first time backpacking or first time in Yosemite?
Why not try a two night shake down. Go out like a long day hike, set up camp. Day hike on day two, stay out 2nd night. Hike back out on day 3. This is a good weekender. Cathedral Lakes would be a good starter.
This is the pattern we would do with all of our first time backpackers in Boy Scouts, youth and adults alike. If you didn't make the shake down trip you were not elegible to go on our long trip.
Remember to post your experience.
Smarter than the average bear.
