Last night at home

and I have done everything I was able to think of. The rest will just have to sort itself out.

Gary already mentioned my pretty laid back attitude to packing. So it comes quite as a surprise to me that I am packed and ready to go. No more last minute panic tomorrow - how will I cope?? But I must say that I am not the master in leaving the packing to the last minute. That honour goes to an old friend of mine. She took that endorphin producing last minute rush to new heights when she realised around midnight, whilst packing, that she could not find her passport. She was booked on a morning flight to Japan and amazingly she did go on that flight - with an emergency passport that was issued by the mayor of her town in the middle of the night. The mayor was called out of bed by her very resourceful and persuasive husband. He opened the office and issued her with the desired travel documents. Do not try this in any large city or anywhere in the UK!

I am still in awe - anybody can pack last minute, but a new passport less than 12 hours before departure? So you see, me being worried about being packed the night before is completely valid. It's a slippery slope. What ever next I ask!
