HELP!

---

I am officially TERRIFIED! I don't think I've felt so nervous ever! I didn't sleep at all last night and now the countdown has really begun....my dad is taking me to Heathrow in...7 hours time!!!

This time tomorrow I'll be in HONG KONG!!!

I just have the awful task left of trying to squash the final bits in my backpack - I know they say you should only fill your backpack 3/4 full - but C'MON!??

Ellie - you'll be so proud to hear I decided AGAINST the hair straighteners...It's my way of being a hard core backpacker!!! (even though the hostels I have booked in to are all ensuite rooms! I can't quite stretch to the whole dorm thing yet! But give me time & we'll see....!)

Next time I write, let's hope I don't feel quite so sick.........! x
