4 Sleeps to go

Hi there to anyone who is interested in following our journey.

Four sleeps to go.  We are looking forward to lift off now.  Nearly ready.  Just the school production to enjoy (survive).  We have to see the same show twice - with one child in each cast.  And Mia may have to view the show 3 times.  Then grab as many hours sleep as we can ready for the adventure to begin.


Our plan to depart with light (hand) luggage is looking good.  Four days to go and we are at 29kg for the whole family.  The goal is to depart with hand luggage only.  Many people are asking why we are trying to do this.  There are a number of reasons.  We like being able to be free to move easily when we want to.  We don't want to struggle to our hotel in a taxi.  Public transport and lots of walking is our plan.  Light luggage will keep our hands free to hold onto children and be relaxed.  And less to pack each time we move.  We have been working on this for sometime with lots of research.  An article in a magazine got us started on this mission a long time ago.


So here goes.  Next post once we are up up and away.

  2. That's extraordinary! I have never heard of this (the Light Luggage movement - sort of the next step from Slow Food?)
    Where did you read about it?

  3. Hi
    Too hard to move the family lugging suitcases, etc around between planes/trains/& all the rest. Check out onebag.com and travel guru's like Rick Steves.
