2 more sleeps!

---

Right, the kids are all off to their respective places as of this morning and we are missing them already! A wonderful holiday and all!!!

So here we are, two days from departure. Still packing, or at least thinking about it. Training, well, too late for that. Attempting to kick colds and bronchitis before we start this silliness....25 hours of flying and then on January 6th we arrive Phnom Penh, hopefully gathering all our baggage and then off to the Eureka Villas in the care of our friend Hen.

Certainly a beer around the pool and then we will head to the market to gather last minute items/gear (a big mat for the mid day sleep and two containers for filtering/storing the water we will use along the way). Maybe a few fried critters for the snack sacks!

Once that is all sorted we settle on the actual start day, hoping for January 9th....just a thought, none of our experiences in Cambodia relating to distances are actually accurate unless you are physically carrying a GPS along the way. We will have 3! So yes the daily mileage is subject to change!

BTW, as a group, we have raised more than twice the dollars as last year and thanks to you, many more families and children will have clean drinking water in 2011! You FREAKING Rock!

We have committed to fund raising until the end of Feburary so there is still time to help. Please give as you can...
