Success!

Yes - we have managed to fit all in our four carry on bags! I had thought we might have to resort to one check in baggage but after some tough love advice from my friend Sarah earlier today (thanks!), I went home, culled more clothes and now have 4 carry-on bags weighing under 7kg each!

Oh joy - have just discovered that for some reason, can't upload/use images on iPad on our blog - arghhh! Conveniently found this out AFTER buying the camera card reading thingy for my iPad...sigh. This means friends/family will have to put up with text blogs UNTIL we can get somewhere with a computer/laptop for me to hack into and upload a shedload of pics.

But until this time, here's a photo showing you just how excited my children are to be going away for 2 months...look at the big happy smiles on both their faces (and please, note those 4 beautifully packed bags!)..sigh.... :)
