  • WOW....I can't believe it's almost here.  We have been planning this trip to Australia for over a year now and it's almost here!  Would you believe I don't have one thing packed.  Don't know if I should be handling it this way but thought I would just wait until Saturday morning to get everything in the suitcases.  We have a couple of lists going with everything we need to buy on one and everything we need to stop on the other.  So far this is working well.  The list's keep getting smaller with each passing day.  I usually stress out when we plan for trips and thought I would try it a little bit differently this time.  We are staying in Penthouse apartments in both Noosa Heads and Sydney so they both have washers and dryers in the apartments.  So at least we can do laundry once at each location and not have to worry about taking 2 weeks worth of under gear   I have purchased space bags that do not require a vacuum cleaner to take out the air.  You just roll them up and expel the air that way.  I'll let you know if they work out well or it was a waste of my money.


    We leave Saturday from our home and go into San Francisco where our friends live.  We will be leaving our car in their garage so we don't have to worry about that.  Our friends have ordered a Limo to take us to the airport!  Our flight doesn't leave until 10:30 PM Saturday and we arrive in Sydney on Monday morning about 9:00 AM.  Then get on another plane for Noosa Heads.


    Just in case this is my last post until we get back my thoughts and prayers will be with everyone.  I'll be back
