2 weeks to GO!!!

Easter is done and I have eaten enough turkey to hold me for awhile. We have our last big walk this weekend, we will again do the full half marathon, that just feels really good and kind of scary. For the last 3 months our lives have had to revolve around training and after this weekend it is only short walks, with the longest being 8km. This week and next week are the same, 6, 4, 8, 6 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am starting to pack and starting to get a bit nervous, not so much about the walk, I know we can do it, but we've never been to Europe and I am really excited to go but also a bit nervous. I do most of the planning, I'm sure that shocks a lot of you out there that know us, so I want it all to go right, not perfect, just right. I want to have enough cloths, enough money, did I pack everything I need....god I could go on for hours. Ernie is trying to get me to relax as will Megan the minute she gets wind of my rising nerves. Apparently I do this everytime we go somewhere new, but once I've been somewhere I'm alright, what can I say it's my thing! But it also drives everyone crazy! Which is again "my thing". So it's all good. lol. I am trying to relax by booking foot rubs, very relaxing to me, going for reflexology, my usual wine doesn't go so well with walking so I've had to learn new techniques. I will relax, I hope, soon enough.....since we leave IN TWO WEEKS!!!!

Dave said he is glad that you have packed loads of cloths!! as we have loads of cleaning to do but it would help if you packed some clothes as well as we are not quite into naturalism here and it is not quite warm enough!!
We are not backward here in Europe and you can get everything here as you can in Canada, pack light we do have washing machines!!

Spelling has never been my strong point!!! lol Come on what's a little skin between friends!! I am trying to pack light but I have all these new clothes!!! I need to wear them! I think it's just my nerves, I will only relax once I'm there, poor Ernie will need a few pints by then!! I will try my best to be calm....but we'll see, calm isn't really my thing!!!

When you find time can you send us your flight details for the 8th.
I am sure we can arrange a pint or two on the way home from the airport, maybe even fish and chips!!
