Quiet week

It's been a quiet and stressful week, thank goodness it's Friday. Thank goodness it's Friday and I'm sitting here with a cold beer on a hot day, thank goodness it's Friday and I have got almost all my details sorted, including getting the packing down to around 30kg, thank goodness it's Friday and I have my flight details. I finally have my flight details, they have been a major source of stress this week, inwardly anyway. Outwardly I'm my normal cool, calm and collected self, yeah right I can hear others say.

And before you judge about the 30kgs, try packing your life into 30kgs sometime. As one of my friends said, at least you're small so your things are lighter than mine, you guessed it she's packing too. Anyhow, the long awaited eticket arrived this morning and I wish I could include it here, possibly can but can't be bothered working out here, now, without another beer. Did I mention it's hot, about 30 today?

This eticket is the most minimalistic document I have ever seen, two lines with abbreviations that, I am assuming, contain my time and date of flying, the flight number, the airline and where I'm flying to and from. I just need the code to work out the abbreviations, luckily I can read the times and I know I'm going to Abu Dhabi via Brisbane. It will all work out she says trustingly.

After all this is the person who blindly flew from Doha last year to Rome without the faintest idea of how she was going to get where she was going from the airport, no Italian, no Euros, no real idea of where she was going either. And that all worked out. It nearly killed me, I got sworn at by a fierce looking woman when she hit my bag and walking up Via Vaticano in that heat dragging a large bag, well suffice to say, I worked that out so this trip should be fine. At least I think I've got someone meeting me at the airport, here's hoping.

No matter what happens, I'm off on a new adventure, only three more sleeps to go. Quite excited really and so looking forward to seeing Keir and Sasi in Brisbane, spending some time with them. I will get photos, promise.
