Preparation cuti-cuti Sydney....(Part 1)

Salam..

In sya Allah. This is our first time travelling abroad as a family of 4 (2 Adults + 1 Toddler + 1 Infant). We are planning for 7 days and 6 nights vacation to Sydney, Australia. Scary huh?? Lot of things need to be taken care of before we go. Lucky enough we had Internet now!! :-P

There are several blogs that you can refer to while planning. Blogs that I find most useful are Travel Mama & Delicious Baby. These two blogs give you information on what to pack – luggage and carry on. List of to dos and don’ts before and after boarding. What to expect from your little ones and many more.

Listed below is my ‘to do list’: -


5 months prior (as earlier as 5 months as we need to plan our budget)

a) List down Airline Service Provider and start comparing
b) List down Accomodations available and start googling for the best hotel that value for money. Take into consideration the location and transportation.

To be continued...hehe.
