10 Days left...

Morning!


So, i'm looking at my countdown timer at the moment waiting for the time to reach 10 days exactly while writing this post!


With most of the passports & EHIC cards collected, catering finalised, activities finalised, tickets in hand, sleeping arrangements finalised, we now countdown the days!


I finally got down to start buying the stuff I need, yesterday I looked at a 30 litre day sack and over trousers, very reasonably priced.  The day sack is quite cool, just what I need!  I must now slowly gather the rest of the equipment, clothes, gadgets and stuff I need to get organised!


During the participants meeting last Monday, Corinne a leader from Birzebbugia Scouts got a photo book which they made for their trip in Kandersteg, beleive me, IT IS AMAZING!


I seriously CANNOT WAIT!!!!


Oh well...10 days and counting till we meet at the Airport!


I can't wait any longer...the countdown timer reads: 10 days 1 hour 19 minutes and 40 seconds


See ya soon!
