Well Virgin telephones didn't bother getting back to me - so I did a quick web search and found a mobile phone dealer who sold unblocked phones. Ryda.com of Ashfield. I went in on Friday and bought one for $39.95 - could have save myself some money and stress if I had done that first. You live and learn! I got it home and charged the battery and put in the SIM card and lo and behold, it worked - Yes! Not that we intend sharing the telephone number with anyone - it is for us to use in the UK to make calls to the various places we have to communicate with. The SIM card is designed for UK calls only. We can be contacted through our Gmail addresses, which we will be checking regularly, and of course through the comments section in this Blog.
Last night I did a re-pack of the suitcases and hand luggage. The blister packs of medications take up very little space in the hand luggage, what a great idea for anyone travelling with lots of medications.
Not much else to say about preparation as it is all done. Only boring house cleaning to do before our house sitters Claudine, Leo and Isabelle and their two dogs come to stay. Next post will hopefully be from Singapore - internet links permitting.
