Can I just add a huge, heartfelt thanks to everyone who's helped out with my stupid questions in the run up to this adventure, (and to all those who asked their own stupid queations that I hadn't thought of). I still feel totally inadequate, but a better informed inadequate!
Thank you, I really do appreciate your advice, wisdom, humour and enthusiasm...
we could be fighting over the same forgotten things ! Dont worry I keep worrying that i will forget something as well. Just make sure you remember the passports & tickets and i'm sure everything will be okay. have fun
