the beast has been defeated!

finally managed to get everything into one bag- and surprisingly without excessive drama...feeling very excited and the reality of it all is really kicking in now. flying down to london tomorrow to stay with cousins before getting my plane out of heathrow at a very pleasant 10:30 am tuesday morning. have been savouring every meal, and have been very well fed this weekend, stocking up on flavours to pull me through a 10 week spell of refried beans and rice...this is what i have been told anyway- although the possibility of steak tartar and caviar still lingers...

2 days and counting! soop soop! peace out for now. xxx

preparations...

if only i was the proud owner of one of those bottomless mary poppins bags...
