Five sleeps to go until our White Xmas Tour!? (affectionately named so by Cousin Karen!). I still remember the conversation myself, Craig, Karen and Graham had in January over lunch at a lovely cafe in the Wairarapa ... it went something like ...
Karen - So when are you two going to come and visit us?
Us - we'd love to come over someday, its on our plans
Helena - it would be lovely to have a "white Christmas" *dreamy sigh*
teehee
It still blows me away that in just five days thats exactly whats going to be happening! Ok, so maybe its not going to be a "white" Christmas, but its going to be winter ... so steamed pud and brandy butter will seem right!
So ... five sleeps out and whats going on?
Well lets see - today ....
- We have pulled out all the clothes we want to take and some have gone in the wash
- All our documentation has come out the safe and I'll be taking it to work tomorrow for photocopying
- The last Christmas presents for the cousins has been finished and wrapped
- Helena went shopping and bought slippers for the plane! (exciting stuff)
- Downloaded more music for our MP3 players
- About to pick up the other suitcase from Bill & Raynors
- Started piling stuff on the spare bed for packing!
Yesterday I took a pic of the beginnings of our packing, took another one today and things have advanced some what!
and then today ... complete with Jack having a nosey
so things have progressed somewhat!
