August plans for the blog

Hey!
As you most likely know, I am going on vacation on the 22nd of August (to be honest, we are leaving between the night of the 21st of August and early morning of the 22nd).
Today is the last day of July, and the month went by quite quickly. Sometimes, it feels like just last week when I was still in hospital... yet it's over a month since I was discharged now!

Anyway, my plans for August are;-
1-17 August;I am going to make the most out of it as this is the last of my Summer holidays at home. I can't take everything with me on vacation, so I am going to make the most out of London summers as there won't be another one for 12 months! Perhaps do a bit of preparing as well such as shopping, take advantage of the shops and buy myself little fun things for school,things to keep me busy, things for vacation etc. Autumn is good for shopping too, but Summer is great since it's so warm and I can enjoy a smoothie outside a café with some ice cream- you can't really do that in Autumn or Spring, can you? O_O Spring isn't exactly smoothie season yet... and don't get me started on Winter shopping. My face feels like it's about to freeze off, but if I'm wrapped snugly in 5,000 layers I'm *more or less* just fine.

18-21 August; Dedicate those three days to getting ready for vacation. There will be chaos, and time is going to be tight. Pack my suitcase with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I WILL EVER NEED, pack my travel bag with things I'm going to need in the car- so; snacks such as fruit( in containers of course, I can't stand brown mushy bananas or squishy pears), and things such as biscuits, pastries, you know- whatever I am going to find in the cupboards and fridge at the time. Oh and of course, if I'm going to need it I'm going to pack myself a portion of breakfast cereal. Also, I'm going to need some water, but no more than a litre, random essentials such as hand sanitizer, and of course entertainment- books, technology, magazines, notepads and maybe little toys. I won't pack TOO much, since I'm going to buy extras such as more food and magazines on the ferry and petrol stations.I'm also going to need to clear out my Kindle to install good apps and maybe buy some books, install just a few apps on my phone and I am going to have a few lists ready and a schedule for the day we leave. I'm not sure when our ferry is but I think it's going to be between 2 and 6am, so I'm going to have a very early night on the 21st of August which means every second is going to be precious. If it turns out I have some free time, I'm going to post here, and make the most out of the Summer in London.

I'm going to do a few 'tip posts', and other things like that. I know some of you go back to school in August, but I decided I'm going to save school posts for when I'm back. It makes more sense, since all students reading this blog would have most likely started by then (around 10-11 September)

So, the posts over the month of August are going to consist of;
Prior to 22 August:
*Summer-related posts- I'm thinking of doing a post on coconuts, something about summer fruits&treats, some recipes, fun activities, something on my garden, and perhaps a few tips such as staying safe in the sun and all that. Just all sorts of Summer posts are coming soon, so get ready!
*Experiences- when it's an exciting day and worth sharing my experiences, I will dedicate a whole post to that.
*Vacation- so, posts on things like what's in my suitcase, how to pack your travel bag well, etc. This will come closer to the 22nd of August, so don't expect a post titled 'My suitcase' on the 7th of August.

22nd August and after-
*My vacation! I am going to try my best to post daily, I'm sorry if I won't be able to :((
However, I am going to squeeze in as much of my experience as possible, including the things I am going to do daily.

Have a wonderful last day of July,and see you all in August!
