spaced

well i am feeling pretty out of it at the moment - today has been a blur trying to get everything ready, i still have loads more to do and i am knackered. Aside from trying to actually pack there are so many fiddly things to do such as sort out banking stuff, check flight details, make sure we have everything printed out and of course tidy the flat which at the moment looks as though a bomb has hit it (a mighty big bomb at that)

i have no idea how i managed to fit everything in my case- well thats a lie - i fitted everything in and then i had to take stuff back out as it was too heavy -ooops, so i just transferred stuff into ricky's bag -

"whats that mr murray, you said you packed this bag yourself?" the customs officer booms as he pulls out a set of straighteners.

now it looks as though ricky's case is the heavier of the two but that is due to him having all of my toiletries (as you can imagine there are a few as i dont think you can buy shampoo in australia can you????) and i used to think of myself as a light packer - still at least i think we have everything we need. maybe i should try and sneak in a few more books!!

we said goodbye to little ron yesterday and he was dropped off at his new adopted parents - we had a fairly traumatic morning getting him through to glasgow - he doesnt like the car or getting his toenails clipped - but rikke assures me he is doing great- i have a feeling he wont want to come back home.

so we are off tomorrow - getting picked up by the taxi at 5.45 before our flight to heathrow at 7.30 - must admit am looking forward to seeing terminal 5 and doing a bit of shopping. Our flight to Tokyo is at midday and we land on wed morning at 9am (midnight our time) so we will be knacked but its so mad to think that this time tomorrow we will have only 5 hours until we touch down in japan - i am still finding it hard to believe but i am certainly getting more and more excited - no idea if i will sleep tonight - i hope so as i am shattered.

but anyway just wanted to write a last post before we set off - the next time will be from some far off land, am hoping it wont be too long before i can let you know what we have been up to

be good children, speak soon xx
