So basically, this time next week I’ll be in Australia for the first time in my life. I can’t really describe how extremely awesome it will be.

Since the departure date (next Monday, the 9th of February) is just around the corner I guess I’ll have to get started with organizing for the trip and packing my stuff.

First of all, tickets, documents, currency and stuff:

  • Print my visa – Done.
  • Print my ticket – Done.
  • Find my passport – Done.
  • Find my certificate of sickness insurance in Sweden – Done.
  • Find my travel insurance certificate – Done.
  • Exchange SEK for AUD (I exchanged 5 000 SEK for 900 AUD) – Done.
  • Purchase train ticket and bus ticket from Gothenburg C – Landvetter Airport – I’ll do this shortly.

Electronics:

  • Purchase Apple’s World Travel Adapter Kit so that I can use my beloved Macbook Pro on airports and stuff – Done.
  • Purchase a general travel adapter so that I can use other electrical stuff in Australia – I’ll get this tomorrow.
  • Find my head phones – Done.
  • Get two new sets of head phones for my iPod – Done.
  • Find my cell phone charger – Done.

Sunscreen, ointments and stuff:

  • Purchase sunscreen with sun factor 30 – Done.
  • Purchase cooling balm (neat backup if I burn myself) – Done.

Clothes:

  • Find some decent shorts – I’ll do that shortly.
  • Pack the rest of the clothes – I’ll do that this weekend.
