For someone that has done as much travel as I have, I have to be the world’s worst packer. Seriously. It takes me ages, I um and ah over every single item, panic that I don’t have enough (as if!), and what is worse still, I procrastinate instead of just getting on with it! I annoy myself sometimes!

I am quite proud of this packing effort thus far, and this list includes what I’ll be wearing on the day:

• 2 x light travel trousers
• 2 x shorts
• 2 x summer dresses
• 5 x t-shirts / tops
• 4 x singlets / tank tops
• 1white long sleeve shirt
• 1 jumper
• 1 long sleeve top
• 1 skirt
• 1 x 3/4 leggings
• sarong & swimmers
• thongs
• ballet flats
• sandals
• runners (wearing)
• light coat / trench
• 1x jeans
• 1 x belt
• sheer black jacket cardigan top for going out
• PJs

Not bad ‘eh? Now it’s just my hand luggage and toiletries I need to finish packing. Ok, I’m going to finish packing. Ciao ciaoooo!

I can not tell you how excited I am!!!!  Oh – and today I booked tickets to the Live Site in Hyde Park in London to watch the Olympics opening ceremony on the big screen – and it includes a concert featuring Snow Patrol, Stereophonics and Duran Duran! How awesome!  And I’ve just made a date to see my lovely girlfriend Cat in Rome next Wednesday.  So much to look forward to!

My next post will be from overseas! See you on the flip side!
