Our Trip to Melbourne next month

Next month I am going to a retreat in one of Melbourne's outer suburbs I am looking forward to it so much as I don't get to scrap with ladies very often, and these ladies are a very special group so this is really exciting. I will be arriving on the Thursday and staying with a friend visiting scrap book shops and going out for tea before heading off to the retreat on the Friday. I have started to make my list of things to take. I do not want to forget anything lol mind you there are more things on the scrapping list than the list I have for my clothes lol last year I bought a bag for my scrapping it holds enough things for a crop and is small enough to take on a plane and it's small enough to enable one to manage their other bags and personal items as well. On the Sunday after the retreat Phillip will be picking me up in the hired car and we will be heading off on holidays up to Ballarat for a few days looking around the area , and taking in the history. We then head down to the Great Ocean Road for some beautiful views taking two days staying at two motels along the way before heading back to Melbourne where we will stay at Taylor's Lake for three days to enable us to look around Melbourne we will also fit in some shopping time before heading home. I have planned this trip so it just has to be right . The car we have hired is a small hatch but can get an upgrade if we want but I think the small car will be fine just for the two of us as we will get more kilometers for the fuel we buy.
