stellar_muddleSo, now we are down to the packing of what can be brought on the plane.
Hmmm, checked on baggage is currently at approximately 30 kg each and the allowance is 20kg each. Excess baggage rates appear to be at $10 per kg over. It is not that things don't fit in the packs - there is dangerously still space (ignoring the bows), just the mass...
Oh well. Check in early and plead and grovel I suspect.
Edit: can get the bows on as sporting equipment (10kg allowance free there). Unfortunately not transferable/poolable.
Found the roadkill count (we managed not to hit any)
15 kangaroos
22 galas
3 rabbits
4 cockatoos
16 furry splats
21 black feathery splats
1 echidna
Yesterday was nice and sunny and so we wandered down the beach, up a street, down to the bank and only into 2 bookshops. Then back down the street and along the beach. The evening was spent at the Stormhold fighters practice and A&S evening discussing stuff*. Getting there was fun and done with the aid of wireless broadband, www.whereis.com and google maps, a laptop and a little swearing. We realised when almost there that the battery was half flat, we had forgot to bring the normal plug and we still needed to get back. Luckily we remembered the route with only 1 backtrack and made it safely back to crash space.
Today it is cloudy and and occasionally drizzly and somewhat more panicky with respect to packing. Suspect we will post things and have a nice lunch and then head to the airport to loiter.
* Such stuff as what stuff you find in roof spaces and under houses, what stuff we expect to see cluttering houses, what stuff people hide in houses etc. And other stuff.
