Send a copy to me if you want so that two people have it. I didnt need my medical history when i registered with a doc - in fact when i asked for it at the docs all they printed was my blood pressure results each time i got the pill and my weight when i was weighed and that was it. they said it was too much to print off. So ask them but they may not give it. Make sure you register with a doc when you are settled tho as it doesnt cost to visit a doctor here. Have you received your debit card yet????

Definitely some good advice there from the seasoned jet-setter! hahaha :D I'm still waiting for the travel agent chick to get back to me about the seat allocation cos you can't do it til a certain amount of time before the flight but I should be able to get one of those seats without anyone in front of ya - near the doors. I've got life insurance with Kiwibank on my credit card and when I said I was going to move to Oz (which I was at the time haha) she said I was still covered so I may have to follow up and see if it applies to the UK as well... Awesome cheers mate!!

As for locks, i'll email adrian and get the website for you, they were really cheap and you only need it for the zips you are using on your main luggage. 100ml containers...same website as locks...will get for you. Photocopy every at...you know where...leave a paper copy with ya folks, and email it to yourself, dont put on pendrive coz you could lose it and anyone can access it, whereas your email they need a password to get into. Next time you're in a mall drop into Vodafone, so its one less thing you gotta worry about when ya leave and that way if you need to buy a new phone it gives you time to save. Seats on plane....dont get a window seat...its annoying if you need to pee. Make sure you get your money changed at least a week before you leave and ring before hand incase they have to order it in. and go through travelex and tell them you have a YHA card coz it wont cost you anything to change...ANZ charge 1% Otherwise....looking good and remember to not pack everythng...you can buy stuff once you're here...pack light!
