3 more sleeps..

Yep - it's that time.. last day at work
trying to finalise everything.. drinks tonight, packing tomorrow and Friday.

I have a new pack - my very dear 10 year old pack had a broken zipper tag and couldn't be locked, so they exchanged it for a newer "seconds" model. Let's just hope that the reason it's a second isn't that the base falls out when you pack it!

Was sad to say goodbye to the pack I slept on for 7 hours in Jakarta airport, that was my seat numerous times on floors in airports all over South America, that i wore running after the bus in Buenos Aires, that I saw disappearing on the back of the dodgy brothers 4 wheel drive in Flores while they went off to
not get the spare tyre fixed (leaving us stranded in the middle of mosquito country at dusk surrounded by killer bees [a true story, but I digress])

Hopefully my new pack will bring me just as many memories - and not get stolen, damaged, mauled by rampaging hyena... (fingers crossed and touch wood)...
