One more sleep in my own bed, then it'll be time to pack my final case and leave for Southampton. A couple of people from the cruise went down today and the Balmoral and Queen Victoria have set off on their world cruises. The P&O Arcadia is also due to sail for South America today.

I picked up my hire car today. I'd booked a Corsa, but when I got there I'd been upgraded to a Kia Cee'd estate. I'll be able to get absolutely everything in there, with ease. I packed my small carry on case today, it contains various electrical things, some medical stuff that I hope I wont need, cd's and dvd's (blank) and a case of tonic.

Only the final case to pack tomorrow and then I'll be ready to leave. As well as the two cases I also have two suit carriers, a laptop bag and a carry on bag. I'm so glad I decided to hire a car and not go by train.

I'll be up early tomorrow as I want to wash and dry the towels from the en-suite before I leave. After that it's lunch, pack the car and then drive down to the De Vere Grand Harbour. One thing I have discovered, is that the trousers I intended to wear tomorrow are already in Southampton!!
