The bags aren't packed as yet (well mine aren't but Maree's might be) but I am organising myself a bit more. Trying to get the house and garden sorted before I leave is my main priority but I am printing out important pieces of paper that we need to take. The suitcase is a Samonsite medium hard shell and I think that it will be big enough for me to take what I need. It did the job on the last trip in 2008. Maree is also taking a Samonsite and hers is about the same size but is a soft cover. I think that hers will be better because it has more flexibility if you are trying to cram stuff in - those hard shells don't give one little bit!
I'm still debating on the backpack - do I need one and if so, should it be a lockable one rather than the el cheapo that I am considering at the moment? We both bought great handbags from Stand Bags. They are cross body ones and can easily fit my iPad in as well as other important bits and pieces. Has lots of nooks and crannies to put passports, other docs etc.
Next thing to dig out is the little clothes line and the plastic bags that we used on the last trip in 2008. The bags are great as they are ziplock and once the air is out they flatten down wonderfully and keep ironed clothes that way without crushing.
I've found all of the electrical adaptors and have all of my bits and pieces for the iPad - HDMI connector for TVs, SD card reader, Seagate wireless drive to store our photos as well as a subscription to DropBox for backups of stuff. All important documents have been scanned and are now on the iPad and they will also be put on the latest addition to the family - the iPhone 6.
