we're here!

It was a long flight and the walk through the Frankfurt airport was really long - but we are all here safe and sound. We are all tired but excited to finally arrive. It's now 5:00 PM Stockholm time, the kids have all gone to their billet families for the evening - a nice shower, hot meal and good rest.

We start first thing tomorrow morning with an inaugural concert and then we have a workshop to present in the afternoon.

The staff and chaperones are about to head to our hostel as well - I understand wireless is really good in Stockholm -I'm going to try to post more tonight

  5. Hey H.C.C!

    So glad to hear you made it to the "land of Mats Sundin" safe and sound!

    I’m glad you’ve all had a good rest and I hope you’re all enjoying your time there.

    I have the "Listen" C.D playing on my computer right now, and I can’t begin to describe how much I miss you, and how you continue to make me, and Canada proud!

    Look forward to hearing many stories and seeing some pictures up soon.

    Sing extra strong for me!

    Love always,

    -Erica

  10. Glad to hear you all got there in one piece! (that's always the 1st step!)
    I had IKEA for lunch yesterday and thought of all of you crammed on to a plane and the poor non-HCC souls that happened to be on the same flight...
    Love you all!
    Look forward to hearing more!!!
