Pre Maple Syrup Tour

I am about to embark on the YMCA England Discovery visit to Canada and the Canadian YMCA and i need to test out this 'blog' thingy...I thought Mac books were meant to do it all for you but apparently not! 

Anyway, 2 days until we fly (that's me and a good number of others from YMCA's around England) - case packed; check. Money sorted; check (thank you Canada for currently having a weak economy). Passport, tickets and other important stuff sorted; check. Mobile phone sorted; check (no thank you this time to O2 for being so excessive with extortionate charges). Book packed; check. Work done and desk cleared; sort of check!!!!

The programme looks packed but enticing - hoping for a break at the end to recover from long days but as we all know, i cant complain and why would i?
As James Faust once wrote: -

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.

Thanks for the opportunity YMCA England & YMCA North Tyneside, now where is that laptop charger........
