After some bouts of procrastination, I managed to draw up a packing check list today. If I do say so myself, it's a pretty comprehensive list! Gained some satisfaction checking off the various items while packing earlier this afternoon.
I think I can say with some certainty that I am 90% packed and ready to go.
Also spoke to seasoned travellers (haha) Clement and Gabriel in the afternoon. Upon learning that I was leaving in a matter of days, both were quick to proffer advice which - amongst other things - included warnings against pre-departure drinking.
Gabriel: Don't drink too much alcohol
Jeanne: Yea, alcohol's really dehydrating anyway especially when you're in the air.
Gabriel: No I meant don't drink so much the night before you leave if not you'll get a hangover and miss your flight in the morning...ey...free alcohol on the plane you don't want?!!
Clement in turn, encouraged constant Zen-ness even when in transit.
Clement: *matter-of-factly* Remember ah...Heathrow's not the most user-friendly airport...even if you lose your luggage must keep your cool and act like its normal hor.
Very cheerful. But oh well; I have travel insurance.
Prospect of lost luggage (possibly) and hangovers (dim) aside, I'm really excited about leaving!!
