A plan
The right sized luggage
A tube of sudocrem

Socks
The right seat on the plane

Time for a mini adventure

Sunday, March 17th, 2013
So, it's 8 years (EIGHT YEARS) since the last trip finished, never mind started. A lot's happened in that time - or maybe not much? In short I gained a few nephews and lost a few relatives and friends. I abandoned ... [Continue reading this entry]
