Preparations have started with cases out waiting to be packed. Have bought all the new clothes we think we will need along with other travel needs (ie backpacks, travelsize shampoo and toothpaste etc). Will load up tomorrow and check weights are within the 23kg each we are allowed.

Have been through the itinerary and checked all the tickets and bookings. Have purchased our currencies (USD, GBP and EUR) and will get MYR when we get to KL.

Mum W arrives Sunday and we will take her through the things and places she will need to know while looking after Doug for the next month.

Having a special dinner Sunday (roast pork belly) with Mum W and Mum & Dad A.

Not long to go now .....
