Day 1967. Sammy is our alarm clock, and he didn't fail us today either. When I looked at the time, it was later than yesterday, after 7:30 am, but we also had more time today then yesterday, so it was fine. We got up and got dressed and went to breakfast. After breakfast we returned to our room, where we still had some time until we needed to get ready to leave.

Day 1966. Sammy was the first one up as usual. It was already 7:10, when Randy called to him to go back to sleep. But once he was aware what time it was, it was clear that we needed to get up. We put thermal ski underwear on Tammy and Emmy and a ski sweater, then we all went to breakfast.

Day 1965. At 6:45 am the alarm went off, and Randy got up to make breakfast. Sammy was too excited to eat anything. A little time later I also got up. I made the 8 sandwiches for our trip, then helped the kids get dressed. We were going to take the 8:50 train, but were already ready to leave the house by 8 am, and so we did.
