Hiya! Brittany here! 

Wow. Planning this trip is a lot of work. So many things to do and so little time to do it. We only have 15 meetings left before we’re off to Iceland! To get organized, we created a spreadsheet of things we have to do and dates by which they should be done. We spent an entire meeting doing this. “This should go on that day, and this should be done by then.” It took quite a long time to complete this. A list was made of everything that needed to be done (hostels, activities, transportation, etc.) and then we placed each thing on a date that it would be done by. For example, our last meeting was focused around activities that we could do in Iceland and England. And the meeting we are having tonight is focused around picking places to stay. It may seem like a lot at first, but it gets easier once we split the work up between the members in our groups. The girls in our troop are split up into different groups. Lizzy, Coumbah, and Emma are the England team, and Katie, Selina, Rosie, and I are the Iceland team. This makes research easier in that we don’t have everybody looking up the same thing. Organization has helped a lot in the process of research and panning for our over-seas trip.
