Less than two weeks until we jet set off to the other side of the world and time couldn't move any slower. Preparations are going well. The walking drugstore that will be Charlotte and I is almost set to go. Between the two of us we have enough advil, immodium, malerone, diamox and general antibiotics to cure an entire country. I guess that's what you get when you combine the girl who's allergic to every food and the girl who only ate cereal, rice and veggies for 4 years of university. I went to MEC the other day to get some socks for hiking. I figured that...being a relatively experienced camper and outdoorsy person I'd be able to find the right socks. Oh but no. Did you know there are a bajillion different types of hiking socks and that if you don't get the right ones then you're feet with get moldy and your toes will fall off?? That is pretty much the impression I got after 20 minutes of listening to the sock guy talk about the difference between male and female sheep wool.
I didn't buy any socks.
But I did manage to find a sweet camera backpack at Henrys waaahoooooo. I'm still looking into the possibility of taking a course before I go to brush up on my skillllsss before we head out. The course I want to take is a composition course but when I went down to register I found out it wasn't being offered until after I left. The guy helping me was sooo nice though and started giving me tips and suggestions on the spot! He was showing me his own work and how he got each shot. He's pretty amazing and I think he was hitting on me...or trying to sell me something because he gave me a link to his website. Regardless of the motive, the photos are awesome. www.alexnirta.com if you want to check them out.
On another note, we finally booked our hostel in Bangkok for the few nights we'll be staying there as we wait for Maria and Hecks to arrive. It's got a roof top pool! This weekend it's back up to Creemore and Devils Glen to get a few more hikes in...plus it's the GNE...you can't miss pig races, pie contests and sheep sheering.
For everyone, if anyone, reading this who would like some sort of snail mail from us while we're gone you should post your address or send me an email at jennydea171@hotmail.com!

I guess its only right that your major sponsor should post the first comment...all I can say is that I wish I were you! Have fun, meet lots of people, take lots of photos and come home with $0, that's all we expect. We love you. Mom and Dad.
