All packed and ready for the off........

All I had to do was get the gadgets sorted. Needless to say, I excelled; 2xiPhones, iPad, iPod, SatNav, Hyperdrive, Point&Shoot cam, SLR, 3 lenses, Flash, Batteries and Chargers (x lots, mains and car). The only thing I was explicitly told to get was a converter plug, which I've obviously not done. I'll get that at the airport - when I'm buying an iPad camera kit ;-)   Any old excuse.

1st blog entry and a test

Well, Cait said she wanted to blog our Oz trip, so I'm setting things up ready. This entry should appear in Blogger and Facebook at the same time. That said, I've no idea if Ive set it up right as it's all been done via my phone.
