A day before ...

Well, it is 1:35 am the day of the trip. As you can see I can't sleep due to the anxiety.
I been running crazy all day. I didn't know packing would off been so hard to do. I have never taken so little clothes.

We think we got everything in. Now we need to decide what will we give to our far relatives that we are staying at: will it be Canadian Maple Syrup (approx. weight 40 oz) or Argentine "Dulce de Leche" (net weight 16 oz). For those that don't know, I will give a bit of background on how we meet our relatives.

About a year and half, we put our family tree online (http://glogowski.argentinos.ca). A person contacted us saying that they have common relatives with us. It turns out that this Englishman is a blood relative of my dad's. His grandmother and my dad's grandmother were sisters! Anyways, he owns a summer house in the south of France near Narbone. Lucky us, they invited us. We are very grateful.
