don't forget to
notify the bank re you being out of the country so they can sort your credit card for USA transactions

also buy you photopass if you are going to..save $50 (did mine yesterday)

fill in your info on the aussie embassy site https://www.orao.dfat.gov.au/orao/weborao.nsf/Homeform?Openform

suspend gym memberships/ papers / etc

my list is getting longer..how does this happen??

Got my phone unlocked yesterday.

Going to sort out some more money too.

I'm not sure how i'd go with a kindle (i'd be afraid i'd drop it in the bath )

I'll be grabbing a good book before we go (only 1) and we'll see how we go with that.

omg, my parents used to do this when they left on holiday too

i was the only one of the 3 of us who followed it though i took great pride in ticking things off the list

funnily enough, when i went on my holiday, i gave a house manual to my mum and she was like 'what do i need this for? I know what I'm doing!!'

yes. turnabout. fair play. i'm sure there was a lesson in there somewhere hehehe
