2nd Packet!

Well, DTM and I were driving from the Evansville area to Alexandria, IN and along the way my dad called while we were stopped in Terre Haute and said that I had received a package from fed ex from DL Blair, and that I got a small package from marlboro in the mail too. :) Well, we picked it up and it was our activity packet and gear forms. Yay!

We tore into it! Instantly! Sized ourselves for hats, gear, and did our activity preferences. When we got back to Alexandria, I faxed it to Marlboro around midnight EST. A tip to the wise, since I been looking at other blogs and checking out a couple other websites as well, it shows in many pictures that the brand of boot is either columbia or north face. Well, us country folk don't have much money and don't have the expensive boots. So, what did we do? DTM and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and tried on theirs. Be careful not to just assume your size is the same size. DTM went from a 9.5 to an 11. So, its not too hard to just go try on shoes eh? I did! Gloves were smaller on him too. and coats were larger as most coat brands there ran sizes smaller than normally what we wear. Glad we did this little pit stop on the way home, cause we got our sizes as close to true as we can.

The activity forms are enclosed and was simple as pie to fill out. Just gotta make you choose between the main activities there. From what I saw on fb forum, there are other activities such as ice fishing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowboarding, tubing, ect... so know that these on the sheet are not the only thing to do.

This morning I called the Marlboro Travel Headquarters and was greeted by a very kind and enthusiastic lady who verified that my information was received and imputed into the system and I didn't have to fed ex it back or fax again. Yay! At that same time, instead of having to wait for a phone call about verifying my address and everything, she started that process too. Double yay! Well, the system database went down about 10 minutes into it, so she said she would have to call me back when it is up again. So, the waiting game begins. Hopefully it won't be too long and we'll be on the phone again.

In the packet it said that by Feb 27 we should be getting our check in the mail and our travel documents (plane tickets and so fourth) and our luggage from UPS at the same time so Yay for a month away! Will update in a month when we get more stuff.

Stay safe, have fun!
