9 sleeps to take off

9 sleeps until take off. Quiet at work so made my 'last will and testament'. Not that I plan on dying on this trip but as I'm now 50 maybe it's time I grew up in some respects? I'm mostly packed, easy to do as I'm packing summer clothes during our winter season. My suitcase weighs 15kg and as I'm flying Emirates that leaves me 15kg for shopping! Plus as I travel I'll be using the million tea bags and toiletries and creating more free space and allowance that way. I plan on repacking and repacking anyway before the 16th and culling some of the many bottom clothing (shorts etc) before I leave. This is my first ever blog so will see how it goes.....
