Writing an informal email

Hi,
Thanks for the email. It's not long now till we go, is it? I've been making a few last-minute preparations this morning. I've decided what clothes and other personal things to take, but obviously we need to decide about the things we need for camping.
I know we've already agreed on the essential things, like the tent, sleeping bags and first-aid kit, but there are other things we may not need. Do you think we should take our own cooking equipment? I expect we'll buy food mostly, but it might be a good    idea to take a mall gas cooker so that we can prepare our own food. And how about a large water  container? If we don't take plenty of water with us, we might run out. That'd be awful if it gets very hot. Is there anything else we should take?                 
 Let me know what you think.                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
I'm really looking forward to this break. I'll give you a ring tomorrow morning.
See you soon.
