Thanks for checking back even though nothing has been added for two weeks. We leave tomorrow morning so if you see this today, Tuesday the 4th of June, please pray for last minute details and that we will be able to meet our luggage weight limits of 20 kg and still get everything we need to take in the suitcases.
