One Day To Go...

---

Well you'll be amazed to hear that everything does almost fit into the rucksac. Almost. It bulges, but the zips do meet, with a bit of tugging. Unfortunately I did some last minute shopping yesterday - universal sink plug (if you can't get the acutual kitchen sink in, this is the next best thing), more films (for those that know me, you may be surprised to hear I have only packed 15 films, enough for 1 week maximum), suncream (12 hour protection in cute packaging), and enough ibuprofen to seriously concern a pharmacist. I'm hoping that my packing skills will aid me in squeezing in these final items, without increasing the size of the rucksac, and also, more importantly, not increase the weight (only allowed 20kg, and I'm hovering on the 19kg mark at the moment).

I spent last night with 2 of my closest friends from uni, and spoke to a 3rd on the phone, and suddenly my absolute fear and terror that has been gripping me let go, and excitement has started to again have the upper hand. What are friends for if not for getting excited for you and with you? Talking about all the amazing places I shall be visiting, the stunning scenery I shall be seeing, the fascinating people I shall be meeting - all helped dampen down the concerns over what I shall be leaving behind - for example my amazing friends...

So today I have recruited my sister and her boyfriend to help with all the last minute necessities, such as photocopying tickets, cancelling pension plans and making notes of useul dates and numbers. Meanwhile I shall be picking up the all essential money, repacking the bag, and trying to create order in the chaos!

Wish me well, and keep in touch, I'll miss you all whilst I'm away.
