Travel To-Do List Update

We’re less than a month away from our trip to Australia!

Here’s what’s been done since the last update:

• Confirm hotel reservation for Sydney
• Obtain Australian tourist visa
• Found a cute dress for NYE (though I’m not opposed to finding one in Sydney too – this is a back-up just in case)
  

  Ooooh, it sparkles!!!

Here’s what’s left:

• Purchase trip insurance – still looking for the best option
• Research and purchase tickets a Blue Mountains day trip
• Book our Urban Adventures tour for Adelaide – we won a free one from YTravelBlog!  Woo hoo!
• Find a place to stay on our last night on the road before Sydney.  On Saturday, we made a last minute executive decision to go to Canberra instead of trying to find a place on the coast – there’s definitely more flexibility in terms of required lengths of stay in Canberra!
• Start working on a packing list
• Start washing summer clothes
• Start printing out all of our confirmation papers, to put them together in the trip folder!
• Try to convince myself that we’ll really be in Australia soon! I’ve been planning for so long, it still feels surreal!

How do you handle the excitement of an upcoming trip?  Any suggestions for preparing to pack?
