A quick quiz: What does ITWSC stand for?
Oh, and the correct answer is C.
a) International Travel With Small Children
b) I Toldyou We're Super Crazy
c) All of the above
We have been deemed competent in this module, having just returned from our v
irgin ITWSC. New Zealand, to be precise. Sort of didn't feel like international travel, really. Until you order a coffee, which, in the words of Mikey, put hairs on your chest - double shots are the standard across the ditch, I learned. And they call supermarket trolleys trundlers. And they say wee without meaning wee. But that's about it for differences. So we cheated a bit, I guess. It was no South American ghetto.

After a long drive from Christchurch to Queenstown, via Lake Tekapo, I was reminded of my Brownie Guide days - not the attractive brown smock with golden yellow T-shirt, but the Brownie Guide motto - "Be Prepared". Warm clothes, check. Blankies, check. Newly purchased portacot and umbrella stroller, check. What was missing from my arsenal? A metric tonne of food for the masses. Two apples and a packet of Arrowroot biscuits disappeared before my eyes and I had no more weapons left to fight the War of Children-and-Long-Drives. So Lesson number 2 in ITWSC module - first stop supermarket, buy a stack of tucker. And Lesson 1 I hear you ask? Glad you're such a conscientious student. Lesson 1 is: EMPTY THE NAPPY BIN BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
Oh, and the correct answer is C.
