Hi we are all adults too and still have the paper countodwn chains with colored rings. I also send postcards that I made myself from cardstock and stickers to others in our travel party each week, telling of somthing fun we can do, or to watch a movie in prep for the trip. We also have planned "packing day", "movie day", and tye dye shirt making day. Good luck, I wonder what everyone else can come up with?
