we're all packed and ready to go. although it's another 2.5 hrs til we leave the house. but 6 hours we'll be on the plane, and i'll be in my window seat. hoorah for online check-in!
if you couldn't tell, we are very excited about this trip. i hope it lives up to all our expectations.
i am very impressed with my packing. i'm taking the smaller of our two suitcases, and haven't even had to use the expander. i'm also only 15 kg! even with all my hundreds of different clothes for different climates. i'm not a very good packer, but i think i've done ok this time. time will tell if i've forgotten anything of importance.
my carry on is probably near or over the 7kg but hey. i've got a bunch of books and food and random stuff to keep me entertained on the flights.
our plan is to stay awake for the first leg to bangkok (about 9 hours i think). then sleep from bangkok to dubai (about 7 hours) and then stay awake again for dubai to london (another 7 hours) - maybe have a couple of naps in there too. coz naps are cool any time of the day, regardless of jet lag.
so there you have it. i'm sure we'll blog while we're over there. we're taking lappy, but not toffee. and our london hotel has 24/7 free broadband. sweet. so i'm sure there will be a few pics to look at too!
