Almost Organised

PACKING … CHECKING … CLEANING …  PLANNING

Three sleeps to go, and with my early celebrations for my 50th done and dusted, I can now concentrate solely on our departure on Wednesday. Well in between work of course!
I have never been very good at packing; I'm forever taking too much. Whilst I am well under Emirates 30kg limit, I'm 2.5 over my goal of 20kg…  I thought I had improved, but with 6 formal nights on the boat, it was important to pack dressier stuff that you perhaps wouldn't normally take on holiday. I tried really hard to restrict myself to one pair of heels, but this morning "had to" throw in an extra pair… I also have a beautiful blue dress which I almost decided to leave behind, but then when I tried it on again it is just so pretty, and I don't actually have a lot of opportunities to wear it, so what the heck, it's in. It might even make an appearance on my real birthday.
Clearly no travel photos to share yet, so I'll leave you with a photo of The Blue Dress That Made The Suitcase, (from my graduation earlier in the year) and pic of me and my parents from yesterday's celebrations. I can't wait to get dressed up with my Mum! She knows how to rock a good look.

 

PS I've added a few links etc. over there on the right for those who want to follow via email, or to check out my Instagram or Track my Tour as we go :)
