trip plans

This weekend it looks like Charlie Hagadorn, myself, Luis Burgos, Veronica Lomnicka, and Vanessa Chial will be heading down to the Chamonix area for a weekend of exploring the area around the French Alps. Weather permitting, we're going to do a hike around the area of Mont Blanc (not up it; that wouldn't make much sense for a group of our experience/preparation level).

Travel will be by Eurail with our handy-dandy Eurailpasses; our hostel reservations look to be in order, so we should have a place to stay for about $10-$20 a night a person.

A nifty website with some pictures is www.chamonix.com.
