I didnt want to break habits, so I have continued to leave everything critical to the last minute and arrange superflous stuff well in advance. For example- Not a priority: trip itinerary, luggage, budgeting, travel insurance, sorting the mortgage, selling the car...
Instead, the high priority: buy a camera, buy travel gadgets and a mini pc, sort out a blog...
Speaking with Lyn last night she mentioned theres 3 weeks till we are off- Turns out shes right and Im running out of time to sort things. Should I change my priority list? pfft.
After a short texting session to Dom, I decided I'm not selling my car. Its cost me too much in time, sweat and money to wave goodbye to it and by choosing to not sell it, I feel like I've achieved something- or at least I can cross that one thing off my list.
I keep getting asked by people we are meeting there what the itinerary is- So far its still the vague tours that we have booked (Egypt, Morocco, Spain) and the Redding festival. In between is the Wing it. No Wilko, they still havent sent me Redding tickets, but they havent refunded that grand either...
Im loosely getting a going away bash organised for Aug 2nd too. I wisely decided to make it the weekend a week before we jump on a plane as I've tried the dehydrated hangover on planes before, and they are not pretty. That as well as the male side of the family have a running history of not boarding their flights- Like I need any more challenges in my way.
