Had a pre-Italy get together today to ensure all the gang had everything they needed, handing out equipment and making sure we all had phone numbers etc. Good to see everyone.

Thanks to Dave for the feeding of the 5000 - lovely food!
Good to put faces to a names Trish and co-pilot David!
Mr CJ - you exist! We shall see you Monday night, and yes CJ we promise to feed you.

Really beginning to sink in we are en route to depart for Italy - 9 more sleeps!! Then we meet at silly o'clock in the morning at the hotel!

PS Suzy - Button won

 

Nice to meet you all yesterday and go through a few things. And thanks to Dave for laying on some food for us.

Getting seriously excited now. Hope Rent-A-Boyfriend can ensure that I have the same one to take to Italy

BTW - that guy accepted our offer for the SD card with Europe Maps on so hopefully that's winging it's way to us now.

 

Did you all discuss what raffle prizes you'd be bringing?

 

We did nothing but discuss the raffle!
