The bag is virtually packed - all I have to do it measure it again to be sure it meets the airline criteria! Vietnam Airlines is a stickler for size, weight, number of bags! However, my concern today is more with Korean Airlines and the 2 delayed flights they had out in BC this week. Sure hope that ours from Toronto just jets off on time and makes it to Seoul on time (13 1/2 hours later....) and then on to Hanoi (another 4 1/2 hours). I'll be ready for a snooze when I get there!
At this point in the countdown for a big trip like this, one really needs to look at the last minute things! I've checked the tickets, my passport, the visas, the vaccinations, and gotten currency from Carinta at Global Currency, global-currency.on.ca (including some extra for someone who needs it!). Now on to phoning Visa to let them know, and completing the online registry for Canadians Abroad (voyage.gc.ca). That really helps if there is a natural disaster (like the tsunami they had near Indonesia this week). The gov't can contact family members and in reverse, can look for you in a stricken area! Always worth doing!
It's also a good time to pre pay bills where possible, contact the cell phone providers and ensure coverage overseas, check out the voltage and plug configurations and ensure you have the right adaptors to stay charged and connected! Not everywhere is like North America! and as a good friend of mine says, Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance! I also am checking over the camera and the batteries and the cards to ensure I have what I need!
My goal is to download pictures daily and post a select few with comments on this site. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the trip as much as I plan to!
All for now, more as plans unfold!
