Being me, everything is left to the last minute. I leave for Australia in less than 48hrs, and I decided to start packing at 12 o'clock last night...mistake!
A while back, I got a rucksack, thinking it would be handy as it would go on my back and be easier to carry. Done a trial run the day I got it too, and everything fitted with it only weighing 12kg - good stuff. NOPE. Got stuck in last night, and slowly but surely, stuffed it full, but ran out of room. Unpacked, took stuff out, repacked, but no dice! One more time just incase...NOPE! FML..Took everything out again, and looked at it all, realising, "Oh yes. I have been shopping since last time I done this, and now I have more stuff!" So, I had to hoke out my big bright pink suitcase, which weighs 4kg itself, and pack all into it. Doing this, I also realised how much shoes I have, and maybe that contributed to why the rucksack was a bad idea - can't roll shoes, and hey...thats the joys of being a woman!!! Shoes and clothes :)
Anyway, I think I now have everything in accept for my hair straighteners, which will be the last thing, and the suitcase weighs in at 20kg. I have also just been informed that my hand luggage can only weigh 6kg...come on, 6kg?! My friggin laptop itself weighs 5kg! *sigh*... why does Virgin Atlantic have to be different to any other airline I have ever flown with :(
So, this will prob be me for a while on this blog. I may be using a separate one for my 'Aussie adventure' which can be found here. Anyway, wish me luck because I am bricking it!!!
