Just over a week to go.

 

What a rush.

 

To get everything sorted, we managed to get the internet working at Neil's parents today.  I 've been a whole week without the internet and I couldn't stand it.  I've been climing the walls!  Everything becomes that much harder to organise.

 

Getting forms like P85's to tell the tax man and other things.  People tell you "if you go online you can get it there" what if like us you don't have the internet. 

 

We got the qoute in from the container people which I think is very very expensive $8,865.00 and this estimate isn't including customs clerance, duties, taxes or related inspection and quarantine fees.  Also storage is extra.  We only need a 600 cubic feet container.

 

We have also been informed we can't take food items, and have to clean the bikes so there is no mud on them.  I have cleaned them twice already once with some soapy water and again with a steamer, I'm going over them again with Jayes Fluid so they smell nice and clean.  We have also been informed that we can't take candles, to clean our shoes and camping stuff and also no pine cones.

 

Neil is now off work to sort out any last arrangements. 

 

I've had trouble with one way flight insurance I managed to find one from Saga Insurance at £48.65pp for 17days the Post office was quite expensive at £56.00pp.  With most travel insurance you have to live in the UK

 

We have our hotel booked for our arrival so it's all go for the 24th November.
