Thank you Barbra.

I am beginning to look forward to it now. It was OH's choice as something he wanted to do for ages. And as it's his 65th birthday on the day we go it seemed like a good idea.

I don't think he's going to "retire" as such as he always has to be doing something but I wonder if we'll be able to afford hols like this in a few years ... so I plan to enjoy it!

Hi Grumps, me again, I'm with the lady in a wooly hat throw it all in,and hope for the best, after all, only you care, nobody else will notice.

Just remember some of the sights that you see on holiday, everyone chills out.

Have a lovely time, and tell us all about it when you come home.

Best wishes and a safe journey, Nina.

You seem to have received plenty of handy hints Jill - I'm like Berona and pack a few plastic bags. When we go away it is ever so neatly packed and then I start dividing it one side for clean and one side for dirty in plastic or I actually wrap a bin bag around them and then I can still lay trousers and jackets on top.

The main thing is enjoy yourself (which I'm sure you will) and then you can come back and tell us all about it.

Cheers Persey xx

I always put a large towel in the case first with the short end towards the back and then I pack everything on top, shoes round the sides and small things tucked inside shoes, heavy things towards the hinge of the case. With the trousers I would put them in almost last but would put the bottom end at one end of the case and spread them as far along as they will go towards the other end, then fold over from the waist but in the fold put a sweater or cardigan, something that will cushion the fold from becoming a sharp crease. When everything is in and before fastening the elastic bits that hold stuff in place, fold the towel back over towards the hinge so that if anyone gets to your case and tries to poke their hands in to steal stuff they will come across the fold of the towel, to stop them.
Have a great time, I have to say packing is my worst nightmare as I always end up trying to take too much and the idea of getting rid of stuff before coming home sounds great, I always dislike spending the last hours of my holiday trying to pack to come back.
