Lists

Before we go away we spend weeks organising. There are usually so many things to do, so much stuff to pack so we have taken to making lists. I suspect if we were super organised we would have lists within lists but those that have followed the Blog for even a short time will know, we aren’t that organised.

When ever we have gone away, even for a short period we have always found stuff missing. No matter how meticulously we plan, no matter how cleverly we pack we always end up at some stage saying. “ I forgot to pack this or that”.

So I thought it might be a good idea to create a list and share it with you. Then at least you can compare it with your own list and see how similar it is. Assuming that is, you are traveling in a camper or caravan. No need for a watering can if your flying with BA.

This is the list I made for our trip to Spain in spring 2022.
