Packing!

This:

Into this:

And that's it, all my belongings for the next 7 months.... Yet it still feels like I got far too much. Mrs Grasshopper has only slightly more than me- which is extrordinary, as she can normally fill my car-boot with luggage when going away for just a weekend!

So we are now all packed and we fly tomorrow, after a crazy last couple of weeks getting visas, jabs, doctors visits, dentist check-ups, awards, sleeping matts, saying last goodbyes, keeping the bank manager happy, and even going to Glasgow to see my wonderful family one night.

I've drove between 120 and 320 miles a day over the past week or so, but its nothing really- we fly to Africa tomorrow!

I'd better get a cold beer while I can...
