I've been on the betterbidding website and I'm going to ask them for a bidding strategy to try and sort something out ASAP so then I can start planning days!
Tomorrow is 8 weeks until we fly out!

Next week one of my workmates is off to Europe for 6 weeks then a few days after she gets back we go!

Everything is falling into place...

I haven't

I am a serial procrastinator

And yes, as Karen says I am a slacker.



I will try and do something to do with our trip this weekend

Weird, i'm debating in my head what to wear on the plane.

I want something comfy, light and looks ok.

Ideas?

I found the best long lightweight black pants from Myer. The brand is seafolley and they are generally near the swimwear section. They are not for togs though as they are long but are so lightweight and comfortable. I have converted all my traveling friends!!

We leave just before you guys on 27 August 2012. We are also going on the Fantasy and to NY. I took forever to choose our NY accommodation as well - but finally just booked!

Black leggings, long sleeve dark shirt (to hide any spills), long cardi and slip on shoes.

We ended up going with the Marriott Times Square. I have stayed there before and it was awesome! A starbucks is in the lobby and the location can't be beat. The rooms are also much bigger than the hotel rooms i have previously stayed in at NYC.

Now I get it, and all I need is the leggings

 

[australiankaren]

I find wearing leggings/trackies make my skin flake...the plane dries me out horribly.....
so when I take them off 12 layers of skin goes with them nasty!
now, what do you think of these Ugg boots??

was thinking of picking them up in the USA to wear back on the plane
