I'm hoping to make some savings when I'm away as we plan to take too much money (just in case). The souvenirs I do buy will be very small :) Mr Sft will also look at that tonight.</span></b><br />

We have an overnight stay on an island when we need to pack everything in a daysac and send our main luggage on. I thought we'd have to purchase at least one new rucksack but Mr Sft thinks we may be ok. I'll give them the once over tonight.</span></b><br />
