thanks all. Good idea about buying something there, couple sarongs (awesome awesome idea), couple flip flops, pair flat dressier sandals, 3 pairs shorts, couple of bikinis, 6 vest tops, 6 going out tops, one wedding outfit, couple of skirts, pair of jeans, light sweater and a light jacket (as well as all the other girly add ons like jewellery and accessories!!)

My aim was to fit it all into one of those small pull along suitcases, cos I get sick to death of lugging a shipping container behind me.

I will write this list down now and attach it to the fridge

Mexico? Some life insurance in case of an unexpected violent death may be advisable....

Are you excited and do you have a countdown chart????

not super excited right now - theres too much to do here (immi stuff to finalise, basement renos, christmas blah blah blah) so i'll get all excited when the case gets packed.

Theres a really nice camo set that would make an excellent bd present
