Starting to pack ...

Sometimes I regret having been a Girl Guide ... the old motto 'be prepared' follows you round for the rest of your life!  I was checking out the kit list for my trip yesterday, and as a result I have gone a bit mad at the chemists.

I need to remember to leave room in my bag for clothes! I'm still on the hunt for biodegradable soap, but did manage to get some cool sunglasses that will keep me safe from the bright sun and the pecking penguins.  46 days until departure ...
