I'm Ready!

Here are my bags packed and ready to go. The main backpack is very heavy, I think the built-in wheels will be getting a lot of use! I have an early start tomorrow as we are getting the tube to the airport to avoid any icy roads and traffic. Mum and Dad are both coming with me. It hasn't properly sunk in yet that I am going, although I'm sure it will when we arrive at the airport. I have had a look online and there are lots of good films showing on my flight to keep me entertained when I am not sleeping, which I plan on doing as much as possible! I arrive in Sydney Thursday evening (local time) and the next morning catch a quick flight to take me up to Cairns in Queensland where the journey begins...

  1. That is a big photo!!

    That's what I want to see for all the rest of your travel snaps...... lots of detail.

    I have this page bookmarked now, so hopefully there will be an update every few days. I'll try and set it up as an RSS feed on my igoogle.

    You'll be in AUS by the time you read this, so hope the films were good.

  2. PS, you have to make your page into an PSS feed. It should be in the options.
