The suitcase was pulled off the top of the wardrobe yesterday and is sitting there empty right now.
I'll be getting some money exchanged soonish - and worrying that I dont have enough.
But what do I pack to wear?
Do I take a jacket?
Do I take layers?
What's the weather going to be like...
And then...
Hell ...another plane crash - now that doesnt add to my feelings of security for the biggest trip I have taken in 20 years.
I dont know about you - but the idea of sitting in a tin box thousands of km's in the air is rather disconcerting.
Hearing about airline pilots with a death wish does not instill confidence.
But back to the suitcase...
Mine is huge - I am anticipating filling it with English goodies - but how will I get that thing up stairs and into small rooms.
Will it even fit into the boot of the car that we are hiring for the trip?
Maybe I need to rethink this?
I do face coming back and lugging that thing onto a train to get myself back to Newcastle.
Decisions - decisions!
Layers are always a good thing and a raincoat is a necessity as the weather can change from day to day. Also a good pair of walking shoes as there are a lot of uneven surfaces around those old castles. I got told when I was packing get out everything you need and then take half of it away. I kind of did that but as usual ended up with things that I didn't even wear. Hopefully the next time I go o/s I will have learnt my lesson.
