DigiCam - how often did I regret to have it in the suitcase and not <i>right here</i>...<br>Ear protection for plane or noisy hotel-rooms...

Try not to let yourself think too much about the kids once you go cos you get sad. They will miss you but will be fine. They have grandma and dad which is very exciting. Maybe leave a couple of gifts that grandma can give them. Don't speak about it in a negative way as they then view it as negative too. Focus on the positives. Have a great time and its OK to have FUN!! Have a great time.

You realise this trip is all going to be a blur, and you're going to be back in red dirt land in a couple of weeks thinking "Did that really happen?", so my advice is: Carve out some moments for yourself. Think of some place or activity you'd love to experience while you're there; do it, savour it, and tuck it away in your heart to savour again when the red dirt seems endless, the kids are acreaming at each other and Hubby is heading out the door on some inane excuse or another...! :)ruddygoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15869876730239753027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538166023881782516.post-43265128822004553372007-11-03T22:03:00.000+09:002007-11-03T22:03:00.000+09:00Thanks, Iris.

Go check on the map - you know the name of the town I live in!<br><br>Thanks, Karen Beth. I'm planning dinner with 'the girls', some window shopping, some real shopping, and to make the most of eating out all week!<br><br>Thanks, Melody. The pic of the Harbour Bridge is an absolute given! <br><br>LOL Mum. Yay for you guys - at least the country-bumpkin will be safe on one side of the country. It's the other side that has me worried!<br><br><br>Lots of great points - thanks, Helen. I have my books from the library and have tried to focus on all the positives with the kids (like Grandma's visit and Mummy bring back presents LOL). I already had the pressies organised and will be sending a postcard from each city as well as bringing back more pressies.<br><br>Thanks, Mountain Mama. Yeah, I know it'll be a blur. I haven't worked 5 days in one week since I was pregnant with Offspring #1 (and when I get home it'll only be 3/week). This week is going to be exhausting! But, I'll be making the most of it just as you suggested.Red Dirt Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659525164389759979noreply@blogger.com
