We are so prepared...

45 days and counting, whoop whoop! Daffodil Day Kev is helping us with our countdown by valiantly ticking down the hours and minutes before we depart:




We are getting fully prepared and organised, last night we booked some accomo to lay our weary heads...

So now its a matter of save, save, save and a few more sneaky travel purchases and we are about done friendos.

The final countdown... and essential travel purchases

Getting closer - 48 sleeps to go! Megan has had a toilet 'accidente' many times just thinking about it. Most of our 'must dos' are done and it's now a case of justifying things we buy with "we'll need that in Europe... yeah... we'll definitely need that in Europe". Great idea in theory, retardo idea when you look at our savings accounts. Oops. Case in point - I'm in LOOOVVVVVEE and I am 99.99% sure that Europe would be a failure without one of these...



The 'Diana F+' - I spotted them today at Wellington Photographic Supplies and it does look like they take some pretty amazing travel shots [well just shots but I can justify it by calling them travel shots] so it's going on the list!
