Long range forecast suggests that it's going to be a bit wet and drizzly on Saturday.  This may cause problems for my birthday plans.

Anyone have any suggestions for what to do if the beach looks unviable? 

Granted - these forecasts aren't usually all that accurate.  But the weather has been like this for the past week or so so I'm not that hopeful.

A checklist for things to take on holiday.

4 weeks worth of clothes.  A selection of books, DVD player, travel adaptors, spare shoes, several costumes for convention, holiday money, washbag, mp3 player, laptop, kitchen sink...  Maybe I need to be a little more frugal with what I take.

So, clothes - 10 changes should do me. 
Some smart-ish clothes. 
Holiday money.
I will want a laptop.  Not only is it useful for keeping in touch, but it's a handy power adaptor. 
Must remember the power adaptor for laptop.
And plug adaptors.  I think these universal ones work in Australia.
Phobile moan.  I'll be using an Australian SIM though. 
MP3 player.
I can probably manage the Captain Jack costume.  I am nominally going for a convention after all.  Captain Jack is lightweight and also comes with a decent raincoat.  I gather Melbourne isn't totally dry at this time of year.  So that's
  • Coat
  • Shirt
  • Braces
  • Trousers
One book.  I'll easily finish it by the end of the holiday but I'll restock at the convention.  I'm sure there's going to be some possibility of getting a book or two at a Worldcon.
Plus a guidebook.
Oh yeah.  Passport.
And hotel details.
And insurance details, credit card contact numbers and stuff, just in case.
Maybe I should take my driving licence as well.  Someone mentioned a hire car is a cheap option.  Other people say it's not...  Not exactly heavy though.

Also...
Camera, charger, batteries.

Need to find out if there's a pre-con pub crawl since Steve isn't going to be there.

Yeah.   That Australain SIM.  When I was in Ireland, lots of people texted me on my birthday and I had to pay the roaming charge for every single one of them.
