Sounds good!
Don't drink espresso coffee to keep yourself awake. I made the mistake of doing that the first night away from home that I had and Hannah screeched for about 2 hours!

Maybe some more socks as these things come off so easily and get lost. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I was just about to say that even though I'm a classic over-packer, I'd throw in another suit or two !  Just in case...------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

oooooo I know... some cloth nappies if you have them. They are lifesavers for all sorts of things!
I remember when I took Han on the plane for the first time (packed like I was going to Siberia for a month or three) I ended up donating one of my clothies to a poor man who was covered in vomit. Bet they wish they'd been girl guides! |

| Make sure you take lots of changes of clothing for yourself - so much fun having to wear clothes covered in baby puke |
