Paperwork - The Final Frontier
Monday, August 20, 2007
Do you ever get the feeling that you’ve forgotten something? Or when faced with being away for so long that you are GOING to forget something? Or, for that matter, based on the sheer magnitude of whatever it is you are about to undertake, a whole lot of something’s?

Long Term Accommodation
Sunday, August 19, 2007
Packers played today and in planning for the trip I didn’t even think about it. OK, that’s not true. There was absolutely no coverage, no nothing and thanks to the slowest broadband speeds in the western world, following it via the web was out of the question. Instead, I waited for it to finish and read about it later on. An email from a friend of ours though put in place what we we’re missing.

Friend or Foe # 1 - The Internet
Friday, August 17, 2007
Most of this week has been taken by the sorting of flights and accommodation. You’d be surprised how difficult it is to arrange 115 consecutive nights accommodation in a town that you have never been to with hotels you have never seen on street names you have never heard. OK, obviously that is a difficult thing to do.

What to Pack?
Thursday, August 16, 2007
We began the electronic planning of this trip and by that I mean anything we can do to keep 2 under 3’s entertained for 6 of the coldest months of their little lives. We also start to consider what needs to be packed, how many toys can we take and do we pack winter clothes or just buy them when we get there. For the record we decided on the latter. In most cases here in Sydney, despite the fact that we think it’s cold, a pair of trackky dacks and a jumper is enough to keep you warm. We suspect that we’ll need a little more than there when we get there.

Flights Booked, It’s All Happening Now
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
We booked our flights today. Sydney to Los Angeles at least. Shouldn’t we have found an airline to sponsor us beforehand? Oh well, maybe next time. Almost $8,000 later we are now locked in, on our way and with absolutely no looking back. As we plan the rest of the trip we will be booking the rest of our flights. This quite exciting to tell the truth. The talk has stopped now and it’s all systems go.....
