Thinking about packing now; huge dilemmas! I am reassured though that New Zealand does have shops and it won't be the end of the world if we forget something. Usually my case is loaded with enough books to get me through a 2 week holiday - I am limiting myself to one for the plane..then will have to hope that I can find a second hand bookshop quick! Lucy sent me an email to remind us that fleeces and raincoats were sometimes necessary even in summer...point taken. The children have been advised about the soft toy packing regulations recently imposed- only one allowed! Talk about 'Sophie's Choice'; will it be Lulu or (theotheronewhosenameIcan'tremember) who has to stay at home?
