All packed and ready for off

I've noticed how humans always seem to be super busy in the run up to going on holiday, so I decided to help out by writing my own packing list.

This is what I came up with:

BERTIE'S LIST
pet passport
train and ferry tickets 
insurance documents
food and water bowls
kibble
treats for the train
treats for the ferry
treats for the hotel
treats for when staying with friends
extra treats just in case
Euros and Swiss Francs to resupply with treats
water bottle
short lead for town walks
stretchy lead for country/mountain walks
'Newcastle Station' harness...
snazzy tartan scarf
Fair Isle sweater for smart wear
waterproof jacket
blanket
towel
muzzle
hairbrush and comb
toothbrush
toothpaste (liver flavoured)
present for my Doggy Godmother

I think that will leave plenty of room in Gail's backpack for travel documents, a change of clothes and her own toothbrush (there are some things one doesn't like to share).

So now that's all sorted I'm ready to go.

For some reason Gail has asked me to ask readers to wish her luck with this trip to Switzerland...

We may try to post a photo or two when travelling, but normal blog service is now suspended for the next three weeks.

      Gail did unearth two SF50 notes from a visit several years ago. Sadly, no stash of Euros...

    Have a great holiday Bertie. Just wondering if the word quarantine is anywhere on your itinerary as my human says you are traveling to different countries?

      Gail says: The Pet Passport is evidence that Bertie has had the necessary vaccinations and so avoids the need for quarantine.

    We still think you would make the bestess Ambassadog. You look quite spiffy in your tartan scarf. Have lotsa fun and treats. We expect piccies on your return. Do you have a facey page or insta thingy we could follow? Or does Gail not truck with that nonsense?

    A very comprehensive list, Bertie. It is recommended when traveling that one puts out everything that will be taken, and halve it.....but it doesn't apply to treats! Have a fantastic time!

    Pack light much? Maybe you need some hints from YAM aunty. So enjoy your trip and remember Swiss Cheese is the most religious cheese because it is holy.
    Thanks for being a friend
