Dear self,

It should not be possible to be this stressed about going on holiday. Yes, it is your first time travelling out of Europe (or, really, Britain, since you've only been to Italy once), and going away for more than a few days and OMG packing! And remembering things! And money than is not sterling or euros! but it's supposed to be funYours ( Read more... )

Where're you going? :D

Pre-holiday is always super stressful for me, too. xxx

Singapore for a few days, and then Aussieland for a fortnight, hopefully Melbourne-Sydney!

I can't wait, I'm just having a total meltdown because I've never been on a BIG PROPER HOLIDAY before, and so am attempting to pack the entire house. And am convinced I'm somehow going to lose my passport despite having it stapled to my forhead (metaphorically) for the past week!

Oh my goodness that is exciting! If you get a chance (and i'm sure everyone is like "go here! do this!" etc) go on the Night Safari in Singapore. It's awesome. Also, in the zoo there, they have manatees (I have only seen manatees once, there!) Also bear in mind I was a kid when I went to Singapore...

My boyf and I are taking a holiday in 3 weeks time... I left it to him to organise/buy plane tickets AND hotels. I know he's booked them. But not having the actual documentation is killing me. Also... need to check passports at least once a week. Probably soon it will be more often.

Have you booked travel insurance? I always forget to do that, but it's worth it Just In Case etc (my friend went to America right as rain, and then promptly went into a diabetic coma thing, so she is my case in point) - you can get some good deal online I seem to recall?

Oooh, I remember hearing about the Night Safari! That sounds really good, actually, I think I'll look into it the now. So far, we haven't really got an itinerary for once we get there ( ... )

*hugs* *sends you calmness*

How long are you staying? And when does your holiday start?

*takes all the calmness she can get* Thanks, hon!

We're away from the 4th-21st, so flying out to Singapore this Saturday, then onto Melbourne on the 8th! We would have stayed longer, but my friend K has to get back for work, booo. I'm well excited, I'm just completely hopeless when it comes to being organised!

It's Ok, it's winter here!! Although probably not by Scottish standards...
