A few more things to take

Well I finally sent off my passport application today. I had it reviewed at the post office as there isn't a passport office in PEI. It costs an extra $15 for them to review it, but they check the picture and application for any issues and guarantee it won't get rejected so its worth the extra money for peace of mind. As a result of my application I had to get a government piece of ID, so instead of getting just an ID, I thought that it would be the perfect time to get my beginners drivers licence. So now I can finally drive a car legally. I know its a bit late, but like I have said all along I have never needed it and the money always had a better place.

I also bought a nice summer sweater to wear while in Europe today. I have a good shirt folder that will keep wrinkles out of clothes (thanks Chad and Heidi), but I thought a nice sweater would be something that I could wear to a restaurant and wouldn't need to be ironed. We also picked up a couple of cheap bed sheets that we will fold in half and sew up to make a light sleeping bag. This light bag will help us keep clean as we will be sleeping a lot of hostels and will save us money as many hostels require people to rent linen if they don't have their own.

So we are slowly picking up things along the way to take with us on the trip. Can't wait to get my passport back, they said it should be back the first week of March, so even if its late there will be time to spare.
