We're packing

What a pain. Will I take this? Will I need that? Will it all fit? How much will it weigh? What will the weather be like? How much money will we need? Oh it is nearly enough to put you off going.

I will take a minimalist approach and take the bare essentials. My bike riding arm and leg warmers will be useful and not take much space. (Might need them at the Tattoo in Edinburgh).

Saturday is D day. The next two days are get organised days -(About time!) Got all my drugs from the chemist today. Hope the customs people don't think I am a pusher or courier. I guess plenty of people have supplies of tablets when they travel.

I think I will relax once on the plane. Too late to worry about anything then.

Our flight leaves about 7pm and 21 hours or so later we should be in Rome via Singapore and Dubai. We are told there is just time for a coffee at each stop over. I think we actually change planes in Dubai.

We intend to use this site to post some of our photos as we travel so keep your eyes open for the great symo excursion exhibit.
