Where We're Going

Before we leave, I figured that I'd post a couple of maps of where we're going. So without further ado, here's the scout centre in relation to Switzerland:



And here's the huts that we will be staying at during our hikes:

Departure Information

Yes folks, it's almost time to leave the USA for two weeks. We will be meeting at National Airport at 3:30 PM for the 6:10 flight to New York City, where we will connect to a 10:00 flight to Zurich. We'll land at 12:40 PM (Swiss time) tomorrow at Zurich, and from there we'll be taking the train to Kandersteg.

So the next time you'll be hearing from us, we'll probably be completely sleep-deprived and jet-lagged, but we'll be in Switzerland, so it's all worth it, right?

Pictures!!

Hello everyone,

I've now set up a photobucket account for pictures that I'll be updating and uploading while on the trip. If anyone else wishes to share pictures with folks back home, just bring your USB cable and I'll go ahead and upload them onto the account for you.

On the photobucket page, you can look through all of the pictures the old fashioned way, or you can use the nifty slideshow I set up on the top left.

Now onto the link to the page: http://s632.photobucket.com/albums/uu43/Kandersteg2009/

Welcome

Hello everyone!

I am Harry, the official blogger for Troop 1018's trip to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland. It's currently four days until we depart, but I figured an introductory post would be useful. As some of you may know, we went there three years ago (Go here for that blog) and had a really awesome time, so we decided to come back! I (and Sam, my co-blogger for things that I do not partake in) will be reporting approximately daily with what our troop will be doing. So check back here to follow us on our journey.
