Moments of Permanence - October 4th, 2009

About October 4th, 2009

If I could only reach you, if I could make you smile... 11:44 am
So, yesterday I put that I was leaving in 24 hours when I meant 36. Wups.

But now it's about 10 hours until we head for the airport.

Travel tip: A useful way to reduce packing stress!

All you need to do is avoid clothes shopping for years, because you hate doing it, and then have all but one pair of trousers you own tear badly in the space of weeks.

I'm not packing that much in the way of clothes. Plenty of clean underwear, a few shirts, and done; I'm going clothes-shopping in Britain, where in any case shopping is allegedly much better than in Perth anyway.

So. Tonight I leave, and take flight for Kuala Lumpur. In Kuala Lumpur I have a short layover, then I board a second, longer flight for London. I land at Heathrow, find the shuttle bus to the car rental office, pick up my car, and drive to Wiltshire and my uncle's house... where, I strongly suspect, I beg to use their bathroom first and foremost, because pretty much nothing beats a shower after a long journey.

My memory can be terrible without aides memoire, so my plans include using my video camera to record spoken notes on my travels, for later use and recollection.

My mother joked last night that I was going to be having one of those holidays where you don't know if you had a good time or not until you get home and look at the pictures - I had to remind her that taking pictures is part of the fun.
