On Weds 11th November I am off to New Zealand for 3 weeks to visit Liz, Gary and Anna (plus Sophie and Eve). Wednesday is the day after tomorrow; and on Wednesday I have to leave home at 6am. So today I panicked a bit and figured I had better sort out some last minute details, like packing and generally sorting my shit out.
Thankfully in an uncharacteristic fit of organisation a week or so ago I did manage to sort out travel insurance, get travel money and check passports and travel times were viable.
I am now reeling from the trauma of an hour (!!!!) of ironing and packing. I still have a load in the washing machine I need to bring. Whilst waiting for the last lot to finish in the dryer I tested shutting the case. No chance of that! This silly roomy looking suitcase is totally un-Tardis-like and barely has room for Liz's food parcel and batch of clothes No1. It most definitely is not shutting on the above + laptop + more clothes. Now it *might* close if I ditch the food parcel and transfer some clothing to hand luggage but that would be a little bit bastardly. I shall ponder this dilemma. Not sure I can survive without laptop.
