    Go for massage
    Buy chicken treats for whilst we're away
    Wash & dry jeans
    Pack
    Go to bed before midnight

    Oooohhhhh, now I know someone who says 'archipelagos'. Who says I'm not posh :rotfl:.

    Have a great trip :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
