We are getting used to packing and repacking our bags - trying to make sure we take the necessary and don't take the superfluous. Let's see if we can just squeeze under the 80 kg Lufthansa limit - we are currently stable at about 86 kg.
By the way - we aren't only taking Turkish plastic bags as shown in the photo - these are for the diving gear and our shoes. We also have two suitcases, a rucksack and a big tin box with fragile stuff.
Alister has been tying up all sorts of loose ends at work, and enjoying a few farewell lunches - he has also been spending far too much time working on these internet publications!!
Mattéo has been busy having his 6th birthday (including a visit from St Nicholas) and Juliette has been busy drawing pictures to pass the time. Delphine has organised a very successful birthday party for Mattéo and has been getting the house ready for 3 months of absence (we have eaten the entire contents of our fridge and freezer).
Now we are in the "jet lag preparation phase" where we are putting the children to bed late and then hoping that they sleep in a long time in the morning. I'm sure it will backfire and we will all be exhausted when we get on the plane.
