We are leaving in less than 4 days.  By the end of this week we will be in Canada and on our way to an amazing adventure.  Every time I tell someone where we are headed, I hear how amazing it is or beautiful, or how much we will love it.  I am busy packing - have been for a few days - I do it in shifts.  I hope that I don't forget anything.  Take a moment if you can and write in your journal about how you are feeling - probably mixed emotions!  Don't worry, the time will be filled with amazing adventures and Ms. Stacey and Ms. Kelly will be right there to help you and cheer you on!  IT WILL BE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE 
See you all in a few days!
