Just testing to see if i can do mobile updates to this

It is actually happening. I went to Carrick travel today with the girls and collected a large number of tickets, vouchers, maps and information for our trip. This is only part of the bumph we are getting as the ground agent in NZ will meet us at the airport and go through all the relevant paperwork there. They are apparently very lovely but talk a lot. With the Australia aspect David said we may get a call from Mary or Stuart to check how things are going. ...

A week today we have to be ready and at the moment being ready seems a very long way away. I have not been helped by the sheer number of things that have gone wrong in the house including a major washing machine breakdown. In terms of packing most things are now laid out for David and the girls. This morning I am off to the chiro and then Mum and Dad are coming over to give us a hand.

Hi all You are set up to receive email updates from our travel blog ( www.spurway-clan.co.uk ). If you would prefer not to then let me know and I will amend it. If you are reading this in LJ or on the blog directly and would like to get it as an email, drop me a line.

One thing about this is that you have to try and set things up before you go because trying to do things on the move is a pain in the bum.
