FINALLY...

Well, my mum FINALLY bought my tickets today.
She likes to cut it to the last second.

I leave in 9 days.
7:15 out of OKC.
connecting in Dallas and New York City.
And finally landing at 7:55 am in Zurich.

I don't have to report to Our Chalet until the 13th,
so I've got three days to explore the country on my own.

Wish me luck!!

Weidersehen!

3 weeks until...

I'm starting this blog so that people who want to can be kept updated on my trek through the magnificent country of Switzerland.

When I was 16, I traveled to Switzerland with the Girl Scouts, and on a whim Marce Bigham and I decided to apply as volunteers when we turned 18.

Summer of my 18th birthday came, and I sent in my application with high hopes--but nothing came of it.

I waited and waited. 

Eventually I began to move on; I applied to other camps in Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri, just something to break my normal summer routine.

And suddenly I was on a ski trip and I got THE EMAIL.

The email that told me I had been selected.

Better than that, my Twin, who doubles as my best friend, had also been selected.

The largest Girl Scouting honor was ours.

Sadly, my Twin will not be joining me in 3 weeks in Adelboden, but she's there in spirit.

And with this blog, you all can be there in spirit too!

Buckle up and enjoy the ride that is the Swiss Alps and my European adventure.

Guten Tag!

Sarah
