Be Prepared For A Long Flight
If you are planning a trip down under, then the best thing you can do is be prepared. This is because, depending where you are travelling from, it is a long haul flight. With this in mind it is a good idea to make a list of everything you might need on your journey there.
Now this will mainly mean that you are looking for something to keep you entertained. Even though there may be movies to watch on your flight, you will still need something else to do, unless you are very lucky. This could be something very simple, such as taking a good book to read. If you have a favourite book, this might be the best time to read it. Maybe it is a book about carnival costumes 2012, is there one you want to try to make for example, this would be a good time to sit and plan it.
There will be a lot of time to fill, it will probably seem like 24 days, the time it takes you to open all the flaps on a Lego Advent Calendar, rather than 24 hours. A puzzle book is another good idea, and, if you have children, some travel games maybe the thing.
