18 days until take-off!

---

Wow so only 18 days to go! Getting super excited! My sister Jen and I have been counting down since 100 days so we are stoked to be at 18 already!

I've started packing and gathering some final bits and pieces, making it seem all too real that we are actually going. We've been planning for about 2 years so it's definately been a long time coming!

So for anyone who doesn't know I'll run you through the basic outline of our trip.
We are heading to the US and a little bit of Canada over Christmas and new year, spending a white christmas in Whistler and new years eve in New York.
These are the places we are going to in order:
1. Los Angeles
2. San Francisco
3. Whistler, Canada
4. New York
5. Orlando
6. Bahamas (4 night cruise)
7. Miami
8. New Orleans
9. Dallas / Fort Worth
10. Albuquerque
11. Durango
12. Page
13. Grand canyon
14. Las Vegas

We've got our schedule all set and are now, obviously, counting down the days! Slowest 18 days of our lives! No doubt I will STILL forget to take something, even with all this forward planning, but here's hoping it's nothing too important!

Be prepared for an onslaught of photos of our travels and my lame attempts at being a journalist. Just cut me some slack, I was always better at maths than English :p

Anxiously waiting,
Rach
