Well here it is departure week at last. Still some last minute organisation going on with bits and pieces,but most of the hard work has been done. We received our Itinerary 2 days ago including a list of our host families so excitement is mounting--especially with the prospect of getting to a 'Bears' game added in to the mix!
Travel documents arrived in the mail today and the suitcase is out and at the ready.
School relief lessons have been set and in Wayne's case--accounts managed and plans put in place for our absence both from work and families.
Naomi (alias Imelda)left for Melbourne today to attend a Conference and deliver a presentation--she returns on Thursday just in time to do her washing (unload shoes)and repack for departure the next day!!
Kate is leaving the Coast on Wednesday--not prepared to risk getting snowed in again and playing it safe this time.It's OK Kate--you'll feel at home as we have plenty of rain over here anyway:)
Brent sang his last band gig for a while at the weekend--his vocal chords will remain well oiled though on Maori Waiata and the National Anthem!
Wayne is compiling the power point presentation and trying to remember what the colour taupe looks like:)(The colour of our Team casual trousers).
Cheryl is sorting the brochure and finalising some shoes (eat your heart out Imelda!)and really looking forward to warmer temperatures and some good times!
Departing Auckland this Friday and arriving in Chicago the same day an hour and a half after we leave!:)
We'll keep you posted.........
