Last Chance

Well here we on the last day, if it ain't sorted now its either not important or it will get done on the run.!!! I think we are still waiting on our hotel vouchers for our jaunt around NZ, this will be confirmed later today, after today we can only collect them in Christchurch our first port of call. So fingers crossed all will be well.

Checks and double checks on clothing and accessories including medical supplies have been completed all of which hopefully will fit within two suitable strong and resilient suitcases especially purchased for the event. It will be interesting to see how they survive the bumping and thumping from plane to airport over the next month. The pessimist in us has made us divide the articles up into two separate lots containing half mine and half hers in each case., that way any losses are minimised unless of course both are lost.!!!!!!

Tonight will be the weigh in, bags packed and hung from the specially purchased spring scales to make sure they register below 20Kgs each, if all goes well we will have grammes to spare, otherwise it means unloading and repacking and adding the overspill to the 'onboard' case which we would rather not do. There maybe arguments and scuffles in the corridors of the Brown house as we decide whats NOT going on the journey, hopefully it won't come to that, and heck we can always buy odds and sods when we get out there anyway - we can use the housekeeping money!!!!!

So the evening events are pretty well defined for tonight, my car will be going into the garage and locked up for the duration, no dishes will be used as they will already have been cleaned and stacked, so its a 'carry out' night from the chippie. Then we will spend a relaxing evening watching Die Hard 4 just out on DVD followed by 'Heroes' on the TV, sadly I will miss the remaining episodes while away.

Our eldest will be out to join us as he will be taking us to the Airport in the morning, we have already shown our gratitude by giving a 5p off a litre of petrol voucher, which if he fills his tank up will save him at least £2.00. - cant say fairer than that.!!!!

Tomorrow we meet up with our travelling companions in London where we will spend our first evening at the airport hotel relaxing before the first flight out on Friday. Looking at the weather in Singapore its periods of thundery showers, so the pak-a-macs may come in useful earlier than we anticipated.

Well thats it for now, keep a look out for some updates in the future, it will depend on where we are, what time of day it is and if I'm sober or not.!!!!
