So what do we need...

Like all big trips, we start with a massive list of things we "have" to take.  Then reality hits and you realise that you can't in fact fit the kitchen sink.  Well we are lucky as we are taking the kitchen sink as the van has one, however we are limited in what we can fit in it.

So obviously first and foremost to take is the van (surely we can't forget that).  We have slowly over the last year being fitting out the van so that we can comfortably travel in there with Hamish and Kayla.  Many a weekend away has been taken to decide what works and doesn't work and how to improve storage and space.  Not to mention settting up and packing up.

Today, our latest purchase was a new camera to capture those wonderful moments of our trip.  It didn't help that our old one was playing up so much and one of the lenses was accidently dropped and could no longer be attached to the camera.  Needless to say we had heaps of fun this afternoon taking photos with it.  The below photos are the outcome of our afternoon - check out Kayla's facial expression in the first.

ONE bag, that is all I am allowed???
