Preparing For Departure

So, the decision was made months ago, the tickets were purchased weeks ago, and after placing and removing almost a dozen tents into and out of online carts from various websites over three evenings, we (Nicole) decided to buy this tent. It's 8 pounds heavier than the lightest tent, but $200 cheaper. We will sleep here during about half our nights in Europe so we'll have plenty of time to rethink the wisdom of riding-out a rainstorm on the Alps inside an $86 tent.
