A Look Back
| * What did you like most about the program? |
|
| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I wish I would have traveled much lighter and brought warmer clothes. Being from the south: The weather here is not cold --like in Europe. The northerns were all fully prepared. It was 75 on Christmas day here, so I did not pack a lot of heavy cold weather wear. The weather also predicted much higher temps than the actual temps --which were low! |
