Excited?

Yes but long journey for short time. I've never left Europe before!

Have you read Patrick White? As far as I know the only Australian ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. If you are wondering what to read, you could do worse than his “Voss” or “Riders in The Chariot”

I am never wondering what to read but thank you!

What had you planned to read during your trip?
-
I have 59 books waiting on my Kindle. All non-fiction. Range from cultural analyses of post-truth to neuroscience & psychology. Maybe some detective fiction to break it up. Deaver.

Did you tell them you were going to the land of Oz?

I will do before I go but I can't even buy tickets to go there!

Maybe get your husband to call them? "Now now young lady, you know better than to spend money! We need your Guardian's permission"

Interesting . HALIFAX have a specialist credit card with great rates so long as you pay it off and that's who I used. Me and the wife had a card each on same account. No cost at all. It's the top on the Martin Lewis site for foreign travel Ps I don't work for Halifax

Me and credit have fell out.
