Very quick post. Being on nights is weird. All of sudden, while you weren’t watching, it turned from Tuesday into Wednesday. All of a sudden I’ve gone from two days to leaving to leaving tomorrow.
While I am amazingly ahead of schedule in terms of preparation for the trip ( packing like a gay man involves at least a day to fold everything) I still have this nagging feeling of missing something. Tickets, money, passport.. check. But the idea that I am leaving tomorrow almost made me have a brain meltdown.
It all feels completely surreal at the moment.
I am, however, looking forward to airline food, of all things. First time I will have had two regular meals in a row in I do not know how long….
Away For A Bit 
I want a picture of that suitcase before it is closed! You are being graded on how well you have learned to pack.
Waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of you……..
It’s a blog post or seven.
I still say: vacation means crumpled! throw that stuff in there and click it shut! lol Have safe and fun trip!
Bless your heart, Michael. I would agree normally. But in much the same way as I get harrassed mercilessly if my beard becomes too unruly, so too am I under scrutiny with packing. LOL He wasn’t joking when he said I would be tested.heh
I suspect Michael P is single…………………………….>;-)
Does this mean if I pack my bag properly i will finally get married, despite years of people promising and failing to deliver? My suitcase was holding me back? Sweet.
Well I do it differently! I roll things and find that all is NOT crushed on arrival at my destination AND I fit more in my bag.This was a tip from one of those super organised women who are given their own tv shows to help us poor unfortunate disorganised types do it right !
Hey Nigel happy trails to you! and look forward to tales from the mother country! If you see any thunderbird stuff that doesn’t break the bank or the space in your bag, I will pay you on return.
Oh bless you. you roll up the stuff that needs washing, thus differentiating it. Sheesh.
And sure. But mainly I am going to be living at the Dr Who Exhibition. I will do my best.
So, you are about to depart I have decided on your blog’s title for this sojourn.
“Tour de Coup – A Fact Finding Journey through Europe – Gareth’s Rite of Circumcision”
