Planning and Prep.

So the dilemma is what to pack and how much and  to actually get it done. Today I bought a mini hair drier in a shocking pink $19 from the Warehouse. It folds and also is light.

Carol suggests packing cells from Kathmandu - a NZ sports shop. I looked at them today and they certainly make sense. 

So the trip starts on Wednesday leaving Wllington at 9.00 am and heading to Singapore for a revisit. Andrew has found his swipe card for the MRT system in Singapore and I  am travelling Singapore Airlines, and a courtesy promo deal to stay at The  Grand Pacific Hotel in Victoria Street.

I arrive 3.00pm one day and fly out at 11.00pm the following. Thatt means plenty of time to do stuff including a bus pass where you can hop on and hop off all day.  This means I can change my mind en route.

I would really like to have a Singapore Sling at Raffles hotel.

The Botannical Gardens are finished now and that would be worth a visit.

Anyway after Singapore I go the Paris where I arrive at 7.00am  on the 7th of the 6th.

Brittany will be there and from there I go to the hotel - Trypp Francois -(sp) right in the Opera area. Paris for 5 days. The last two nights staying at Brittany's apartment in the Bois de Bologne.

Then by the Chunnel to Kent and Ebbsfleet is the terminus . this is near to Pat's house at Sole Street where I will be staying.
