Countdown update. Well it's less than a week to go now, starting to stress a little as I'm still in Germany and don't fly home till Wednesday night and we drive down to Gatwick Thursday afternoon! So the missus will have to sort the cases! Staying in one of the hotels with parking Thursday night so should be chilled nicely for our Friday afternoon flight out. We're picking up a Suzuki jeep at the airport so fingers crossed we'll be at the hotel fairly quickly. I'll hopefully post some feedback (in the feedback section Dennis!)

Expressing doubts about packing suitcases? Youโre heading for trouble EGG! Iโd have been claiming brownie points for keeping out of the way! Seems to me you have a lot to learn.
We have less than four weeks to go and Iโm doing my best to nod, applaud and agree. I have agreed to all the shorts, t-shirts, cozzies, Iโve even bought two packs of underpants and a dress and some knickers (which I didnโt select, but admired gushingly). I have enthused about EVERY dress, top, cozzy, sparkly sandals and everything else.

Sorry Dennis but I'm a bit of control freak which is difficult when I've hardly been home since January ๐๐

On the contrary Cariad, I have RECEIVED good husband lessons!
EGG the very thought of control brings shudders all over - what the heck would I do? Back in my early freedom days, I went to Samos for two weeks and packed (in a small hand baggage size backpack) 14 pairs of socks, 14 pairs of underpants, one cozzie, two pairs of shorts and three t-shirts. Thatโs control my style! Who would recommend that?
I suppose to be fair to myself, I should add that I was quite young and foolish then, about 55 or so, rejoicing in my new-found freedom. And some years before I met Vera.

Sounds fun, Dennis! Iโd love to have the guts to travel with only a backpack, but it would make me very nervous ๐คญ

It takes little or no skill Kate. All you need is 14 pairs of socks, 14 pairs of underpants and a cozzie. You could save on weight and space by cutting down on shorts and t-shirts.

These days, I cut down on the socks by having combination socks and sandals. My hat is no longer a hankie, but a hat, with a Boomerangers ribbon.
