OK, its not the USA but it could be.  I'm simply testing out the technology, being new to blogging and such advanced forms of communication.  After years of thinking about it, months of planning it, weeks of gathering bits and pieces, I finally collected all the paperwork and documents into one place then started to sort out clothing.  Its difficult to see how everything I think I might need will fit into one rucksack.   Then there's the problem of getting all the photographic and electronic stuff into my day bag.  This made me so nervous a little sit-down was needed and I went and did some strimming instead.  Departure is 8 am on Saturday so it will have to work itself out by then.  Meanwhile there's Chelsea's first home defeat of the season to look forward to before the flight on Monday.
