T-16 hours

Just about packed up now. i'm leaving myself several hours to put the "assemble-in-minutes" roof racks on the car. We leave tomorrow morning at 5am. We have an 8:20am train at Folkestone but Eurotunnel happily allow you to travel on the next available train if you arrive within 2 hours of your departure time. So hopefully we'll be on the 6:50am train.

Today is our 4th Anniversary! Been a really cool day, but very rushed. i think we're both pretty excited about the trip tomorrow. Northern France is slightly dissapointing from a driving perspective. Very flat and very straight. It gets a bit more interesting once you get to Dijon, and about an hour from Geneva you start to get to the foothills of the Alps - which is fantastic driving. Unfortunately, there's heavy snow and even rain predicted for our destination so the last hour may be a little tricky. i'm not worried though because we have awesome snow-tyres on the car now and even more awesome chains - so we'll be fine.

If i figure out mobile blogging, expect and update from some GPS location in France tomorrow.
