All preparations are set. Wow, planning this trip was not easy. Lost a lot of sleep over this in the past 2 weeks.
First, I should have done a lot more research beforehand. Could not have picked a better or worst two weeks to go, depending on how you look at it.
Second, shouldn't leave things to the last minute. Not that it would have really helped on this trip, but no need for that sense of mad scrambling.
Very ambitious schedule. Crossing my fingers that things will go as planned. Cannot wait.

It took me from Mar 3, 2007 until today to get this done. Finally finished Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii. I played it on and off for a few months after I got the Wii, but during the summer, it just fell off my radar. I picked up the game again this January, with a resolution to finish the half a dozen games I collected over the years.
At first, I thought I was close to completing the game after collecting the fused shadows, only to find that I needed to collect 4 more pieces of mirror shards. Grr.
I managed to make it to last 49th stage of the Cave of Ordeals without realizing that I could use the magic armour (you're invincible until you run out of rupees). I had 3.5 hearts left and no fairies in my bottles. Amour saved me and I dispatched those knights soon enough.
Some parts of the game, I had to look up online for what to do. Like the 3rd phase of the last boss fight. Had no idea and just kept on losing hearts. So frustrating. I did like the Warp feature, cause I remember in Ocarina of Time, running around in Hyrule was such a pain!
At the end of the game, the screen flashed "Press (A) - Finish", where Link would apply the final blow on his nemesis. The conscious thought of pressing the button is bittersweet: "Finish" in more ways than one.
Overall, a very good classic Zelda game. One thing regarding the Wii version... long fights, like the final boss battles or Cave of Ordeals were tiring on the wrist. Glad to have played and finished it. Now, if I can get this Zelda theme song out of my head.
Erm.... today, as I was setting down to drop some logs, my work badge in my back pocket got crunched against the bending of my knee. SNAP! I was like.. Oh nooooes. The badge was snapped in half horizontally.
I took the pieces down to security for a replacement. On my way out of the secured area, I was curious whether the two separated halves will still work, so I tapped them against the scanner. BEEP. RFID still functional.
The security dude had a good chuckle when he saw my badge. I wonder how often this happens.
