Received my flight package on Thursday, now it sinks in that I'm actually going on this trip. We have been doing so much planning on what we want to do, finding accommodations and booking cars, but it still didn't seem real. And yikes, only 10 days to go. So much to do and now so little time to do it in.
Since I have to take two completely different sets of clothing with me - business and fall wear for the UK and casual summer wear for down under, I decided to do a trial pack. So I got out my roller bag that will be the checked luggage, put it open on the floor in my closet and started to go around collecting some of the articles to put in it - dive gear, shoes, some clothes. Came back into the bedroom to find my rather large (60lb) siberian husky sitting in the suitcase. And she wasn't impressed when told to get out. So that idea didn't work so well. Can't wait till I do a real pack!
So the plan is - spend the first 5 days in the UK attending the Canada-UK Colloquium in London and Windsor. Hopefully I'll get some touristy things done in between conference activities. Then onto the big flight leg - first leg is 12.5 hours, 2 hour change, then another 8 hours. And I will be on the ground in Sydney. Warm, summery Australia.
