Why is there always more to do than you think? Still have a To Do list as long as my arm - must try harder!!!

Had all my jabs now, sorted out the Oz visa and now need to get some currency. So glad there are worldwide cash machines these days, can't imagine having to lug enough US$ around for 7 months worth of travelling.

Other than that, a bit of planning and arranging dates to meet up with ex colleagues around the world and I'm done for the trip - except the US/Canada leg, need a bit more thought on that one, but got ages yet!

Pre trip stuff is a nightmare, sorting out post and filing & accounts and just stuff - it keeps coming out the woodwork, each time I tick something off, 2 other things come up. Still, concerted effort over the next few days & will hopefully break the back of it & can relax & look forward to arriving in Cape Town - just checked the 10 day forecast - glorious!!
