Laying in bed tonight and thinking there’s only three days to go and things are starting to become chaotic.
Went down to the bank today to check which of my many cards I should take with me and also to ask about my travel money.
I ended spending over an hour but ended up saving money by changing my three insurance policies to them, looks like I’ll also qualify for free travel insurance so that’s more money back, ended up not organising my money but I still have two days left where I might be able to squeeze that in.
NBN is being installed tomorrow morning as they’ve told me my internet will be defunct as from 09.09 so no choice there especially as I run an Airbnb and my guests invariably require full internet access.
My packing has caused me a lot of thought this time. Trying not to pack too much but wanting to be able to wear things I rarely have the occasion to don. Weight of course is another concern (not mine, although mine does concern me), not for the long haul flights with the larger allowance, but the smaller internal flights that really crucify you if you are over their strictly controlled reduced allowance.
Much to my children’s and friends dismay I have created another spreadsheet so that I can see how many outfits I can create from the items I have selected. I’m pretty sure there are hundreds of combinations but I’m settling for my colour coded matching system so I’m finally convinced I have enough. Haha. Probably TOO much! Damn it, I just realised I didn’t add a column for the weight of each item!!
And honestly, I’m not sure what the all the fuss is about with the excel spreadsheet, as I created one for all my golf scores since the beginning – well who DOESN’T DO THAT?
So tomorrow I’m babysitting, waiting for NBN installation, down the bank to pick up documents and get travel card. Book seats and make sure my flights are confirmed. Is that all??
I’ll let you know.
