There are lots of items on my “Holiday checklist”.

Not so much  “Current passport” and “Tickets” at the present time, because I have not been out of New Zealand for some time and I am going by car most of the time.

But of course “Spending money” is great on my list and I keep telling myself not to go without my “Camera”. 

“Travel insurance” has never been on my list. I have never purchased “Travel insurance” in spite of having travelled  in Europe and Asia.

But there is one item on my checklist, that is more important than all the other items and that is the BIBLE, the Word of the Living God.

I have now my Going-away-checklist before me and one item does not only say BIBLE, but THAI BIBLE.

I worked from Christmas 1966 – Christmas 1979 in Thailand as a missionary and I don’t want to forget the thai language completely.

Maybe one of these days I am going back there for a holiday!
