After having to active grandchildren here for nearly a week, I am relishing the peace and quiet!! I don't expect any house visitors now before I go away, so I have set up my suitcase on the spare bed and I am adding things as I think of them. I have a list of things to take - and I tick them off as they make their way to the suitcase.
I have purchased a few items - I've not done much swimming this summer, in part because my old bathing togs were looking sad and I had been keeping my eyes open for a new pair, and as luck would have it I found an inexpensive pair in KMart. I braved it a little and brought them home without trying them on, but I am pleased to say they are perfect.
I have printed off my travel documents and put them in a folder - and have duplicates too, and a copy of my passport. I will give my itinerary to my daughter too. plus details about my travel insurance.
I have yet to register on Smart Traveller and will do so in the next week or so. I will have a pedicure - and I will get my hair trimmed and coloured about 10 days before I go.
Grandchildren always like gifts when I travel, and I have asked them what they want. Easy!! Chinese lollies and the latest gel pens.
