The Final Countdown

To answer your first question, yes, you should be hearing this song in your head "Final Countdown". Your second question is probably, "countdown to what? and how does that man have such amazing hair?" Well, TODAY IS THE DAY!! Today is the day we fly to Thailand! To be more clear, tonight is the night we fly to Vienna, Austria, and THEN to Thailand! 

We chose a night flight in hopes that we will get some sleep. We have a very long layover in which we will be taking in the sights in Vienna. Stay tuned for our Vienna blog post to see what we were up to!

Packing was definitely stressful, and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I feel like I'm forgetting something. I decided to go with a 60L backpack and a 17L carryon daypack. This was plenty of room for me, but it is still pretty squishy! Below is a picture of the pack I chose from MEC. I also picked up a very handy Lonely Planet Thai phrasebook and dictionary. I am certain I will be needing it!

Wish us luck with all of our flights, and hope to be writing again soon!
