Italy 2015 beckons!
We have moved from
to
So now we are actually ready to go.
We quickly moved past the “we can get by with one bag” to “don’t be silly, of course we need two”.
It’s always a challenge packing for 2 climates. It’s 35C plus in Adelaide today and will be 30C and humid in Singapore and Colombo and then 6C in Milan. So, it’s shorts and t-shirts and full coats all in the space of a week.
We’re excited but I’m not sure the animals are quite so keen?
We leave tomorrow!
The last 2 days have been full on getting work sorted and clearing my Inbox. I achieved that tonight. I can’t remember the last time I was in that position!
I spent some time today sorting out my mobile phone. In the past I have had massive bills for 4 and 6 weeks away and really want to avoid it this time. I bought a data pack so I can use the phone network, but even for 120megs the cost was not insignificant, but a lot less than the ad hoc roaming rate of $15 per meg!
I am not sure it’s best travel practice to work until the day before you leave. All the guides suggest packing a couple of days before so you have plenty of time to get the last minute items that are inevitably almost forgotten. That said we are packed!
As we are overnighting in Dubai we need to make sure our carry on includes a change of clothes that can cope with the 40C plus in Dubai before the milder summer weather in Munich.
Tomorrow, breakfast with our youngest daughter, a meeting with a student I am mentoring, perhaps the gym and then the airport.
