Seven day checklist

Seven days to go to the southstander.com trip to the south of france, ostensibly a trip to watch the mighty Leeds Rhinos take on the superleague frenchie new boys, Les Catalans in Perpignan, but really another chance to enjoy the company of some good friends in gentle surroundings, eat some good catalan food, drink a generous amount of beer and more than a few drops of wine and generally spend four days away from home rlaxing and not thinking of work.

Took a call from Rob today to start the seven day countdown and run through the checklist of things done and things paid for and things missing and still to do, we ran through everything and still we think we've forgotten something.

Flights are booked and paid for, two return flights from Stanstead to Perpignan, £120
Hilton at Stanstead is booked and paid for, £80 for the room but includes free parking for the weekend
The famous Hotel de la Loge in Perpignan is booked but not paid for yet at 150 euros (wish my PC had a euro sign on it)
Transfer from Perp airport to the hotel, an all day trip to Carcasonne on sunday and the matchday tickets for saturday are booked and paid for at a total of £84

and still we think we've forgotten something.

Those prices are all for two people by the way, about £200 each for five days, just a tad less than the Rhinos own official trip at £460 + vat for two days.

but still we can't get the niggle from our minds that we've forgotten something.

The passport has been checked and I know where it is, travel insurance is included in the flights, I need to buy some euros but that can be done next week, we don't need to hire a car in france this time as we are staying in Perp for the whole trip unlike last year.

And still we run over and over the thing again and nothing is coming to mind.

We'll find out soon enough, seven days and counting.
