Step one - buy a suitcase

Our first (real as in more than a weekend away) family vacation is in sight. I suppose step one was deciding where to go and step two was booking a hotel and step three was booking flights. However the first physical gain was in the purchase of a suitcase (ok hand luggage) for our daughter. Of course we went for a trunki - thanks to the excellent advice of my sister - thanks M! We got a ladybug style one - and our daughter loves it. So now to er wait a while and then pack! No we are not packing today. No we are not going on vacation tomorrow. No nor today. No not this week or even this month.
