I am packing ready to head to the airport in a couple of hours….nervous excitement abounds!
I need to pack my keyboard & mouse so write this prior to closing suitcase.
All the jobs on the list are ticked off & I’ve begun to feel like I’m in holiday mode, at last. I treated myself to a relaxation massage this morning, after walking dogs & doing some stretching. That has definitely helped me to get in the mood 😍
Looking at all the stuff I wanted to pack I wondered if could I really fit it all into the suitcase? The old roll & shove technique worked brilliantly & I know I will get everything in ok.
I chose a soft suitcase, reminiscent of my previous travels, due to the fact that it weighs much less than the hard shells I have dragged (actually Mark has dragged 😜) on the last few big trips I’ve done. I took a massive one to India when I went & that was a mistake, particularly since I was staying at the top of a hill which could only be accessed via a steep & winding staircase!!
Anyway, this one is soft, lighter, has handles both top & side & opens at the top rather than in the middle. Baggage allowance isn’t the issue, it’s more the ability to pick it up that’s important, particularly given my height, back pain etc.
I will be having a drink in the lounge when I get there & will probably publish this post whilst sipping a bubbles…posh eh!!
Here are pics of the before & after of the suitcase. Not bad right?!?
I will be spending approximately the next 24 hours in transit & I’m unsure when I’ll post again, so enjoy your week, wherever you are & I’ll give you Athens envy very soon 💋
