My Oyster Worldwide T-shirt and luggage tag have arrived, making a rather dismal January day so much more exciting. I am looking forward to using them both for my travels. One of the hardest decisions I had to make was early on and was what colour T-shirt I chose. I think I chose well.
I am one vaccination away from being vaccinated against everything that can possibly be vaccinated against. I will have had 6 weeks interspersed with injections, so I am glad the end is in sight. The cholera-juice is still in the fridge - I am yet to brave the taste test of this raspberry flavour substance but plan on taking dose 1 in a few days time.
There is a box full of random stuff to possibly take with me travelling, but I am sure packing will take a few attempts. I have bought a set of roll up vacuum bags in hope of reducing the volume of the contents of my packing when it happens. I have a microfiber towel and lockable carabiners so things don't accidentally fall of my bag if requiring outside attachment. I have a pair of double zip walking trousers that can be shorts, 3/4 lengths or full length trousers as the need arises - all in one piece of clothing and therefore saving space. I plan on buying a thermos bottle to keep bottled water colder for longer when out and about as I don't like drinking warm water.
I am taking things that are flexible; one item that can do many things, like my walking trousers. I don't want to over-pack and take things I don't need or won't use. I have an awareness that I will most likely buy things to bring home which will require space in my bag and am trying to allow for this to happen pre-departure, rather than have a crisis of space whilst far away from home.
