Countdown to Sweden

The last team meeting has been held and on Thursday, March 11 at the crack of dawn, the team will leave from Alexandria International Airport. Our flight will take us to Houston, where we will change planes for Newark, New Jersey. In Newark, we will board our transcontinental flight to Stockholm and from Stockholm, Sweden, fly to Kiruna, our first destination. We have received the itinerary for Gaellivare, Sweden and it looks great! We will be attending individual vocational events, as well as spending some outdoor time at one of the National Parks. Our meeting with the local Rotarians is set for lunch at a castle! For those who know me well, you know that is right up my alley! I don't think I have ever played a Queen in any plays or musicals but I have been a Disney Princess, so that counts, I am sure. I am still working on the language training and hope to at least be able to navigate a bit. From the email I have received, I feel confident that our counterparts are fluent in English, which is a good thing.
