I'm sooo ready to go!

I haven't even left yet but I'm posting a note to check this is going to work. I'm leaving in 6 days for 7 months and as yet have done no packing and cant quite remember where I left my plane ticket (if it ever arrived). I'm off to a good start, at least I've written a list of essentials (it's just that my bag is only 45 litres and won't fit any of them in). Ah well, I'll have sorted it out my Thursday!
