Au moment ou j'écris ce texte, il nous reste 3 jours, 6hres et 40 minutes avant notre départ.
Nous sommes de plus en plus excités et commençons à paniquer un ti ti peu. Ce soir, vendredi, nous fêtons la fin de la semaine de travail de Jean-Guy et le début de nos vacances - nous irons donc relaxer au resto - question de se détendre un peu avant de reprendre l'énervement samedi matin.
Beaucoup de p'tites choses à penser, des geu-gus quoi!
Nous avons pensé vous faire partager notre itinéraire en espérant vous faire mourir d'envie.... non, non vraiment - on n'est pas comme ça - mais vous allez tout de même probablement mourir d'envie et dire bande de chanceux. C'est ce que je penserais moi, de toute façon.
