As most everyone who might be looking at this wish list might know, I'm going on a month long trip in February 2003 to Australia and New Zealand. Because of this my wish list for this year will be quite different. Specifically things I want or need for my trip are listed at the top of the list but don't worry for those of you who don't want to buy any of that, there is other stuff further down.
- It might be gauche but the first thing on my list is going to be money. I'm going on a huge trip, I've got lots of things I need to buy and there will be plenty of things I'll be buying in Australia and NZ for family and friends so money is always welcome. Of course it's always hard to ask (or give money) especially in these times so I don't expect anything. Just wanted it at the top of the list.
- I've got a wish list at Travelsmith.com. I haven't yet found a nice simple link to it so I'll list here what I've got listed. However you can also just simply get a gift certificate from Travelsmith if that is easier. I'd like 1 pair of size 10 petite Women's Nylon Kenya Convertible Pants in Moss Color - item #5576. I'd like 1 pair size 10 petite Women's Cotton Kenya Convertible Pants in Khaki color - item #5577. One Single Regular Dreamsack in Dark Sage color Item #9880 and One Women's Packable Panama Hat in Natural Color size Extra-Small.
- From REI I'm going to get (unless someone gets it for me first *wink*) the Eagle Creek Continental Journey LC - Item 668272 in the Deep Forest Green color. Again I would love some gift certificates to REI to help ease the cost of the bag but if I don't get this as a present I'm going to be getting it on my own.
- A pair of Planet Sleep PJs (size Medium) in either the moon and stars or sheep print - I already have the rubber duckies.
- A Red Union Suit (one piece long underwear with a flap in the rear). Check out what I mean by going to this website. I'm not sure what size I'd be - my waist is 30"-32" and my chest is 38" with my inseam about 27"-29". Probably want some wiggle room for drying since it's 100% cotton usually.
- Sisters Bamboo Circular Needle Set which can be seen and ordered from Velona Needlecraft Products
- A Knitty Knittying Bag
- Anything you think I'd like - my friends and family are very rarely wrong when they figure out on their own what they think I'd like. The list below is only if you're drawing complete blanks.
- Donate money to the Breast Cancer society of your choice.
- I've got a whole list of books, cds and DVDs on My Amazon Wish List that you can look at for ideas of what I'd like.
- Jeff Waynes' Musical Adaptation of The War of the Worlds.
- A Civil War - The Musical CD
- A nice fountain pen
- Barrage (self-titled) CD - who I saw at Epcot when I went October 2000. They were great!
- Adventure Travel Blanket - fleece on one side and waterproof on the other.
- Levenger Next Generation CD Holder .
- Queen Sized Heating Blanket
- Jewlery - Gold or Silver but not BIG - I like delicate jewelry. My birth stone is Amethyst.
- Fruit Juice Extractor (not just a citrus juicer).
- Gift certificates for cds or books are always a good present and will be used quickly.
PS - Did I mention I really like festively wrapped packages? I do and this seemed like the place to mention it :).
