Where's my bloody _______ ?

Going by the title, I’ve spent the best part of today looking for things… and indeed that means: I’ve tried to pack.  I did some more tweaks to my bike earlier.  Everything should be ship-shaped, just the tyre pressure needs looking at now… oh and after spending a long old while on the AA website I’ve discovered I need a triangle and a hi-vis vest for my trip, between the countries combined I cant go without them. This does not make me happy.

In other news, this time tomorrow I’ll be sleeping in readiness for waking at the crack of night.

I don’t think there are enough words to express my excitement.  I feel like I’ve almost remembered everything even if I can’t find half the things I need.

There are some things I wish I had done sooner.  For example my E111 form (medical thing that allows me to get treatment overseas) or my IDP (International Driving Permit: something that helps you out when driving overseas and you’re caught speeding or something).  I also wish I’d ordered my toys a lot sooner than I have done.  I’m still waiting for a charger for my camera that plugs into a 12V plug (without it i’m not going to be able to take many photos)… oh and three more SD cards I ordered up.

I think that’s about it. Right, I’m off to bed!
