With less than 6 weeks to go I have been putting my 'essential' items into my rucksack and, having now put some clothing in, it is quite obvious something will have to give as I am already struggling to do the zip up. I suppose the problem is that we are going to both very hot and very cold places. It also does not help that I seem to have enough medication and sprays etc to stock a field hospital. That nice warm fleece may have to bite the dust and be replaced with one bought in Kyrgyzstan! Julia is much more laid back as she has not attempted to pack yet, (her time will come).
The only hitch in the planning so far has been the saga of Azerbaijan gate. I have now completed the form 4 times and had to send a further copy by email as No 4 got lost. The Azerbaijan Embassy has decided to go electronic and has made a right hash of it. I can only assume that the sudden doubling of the visa price is a result of them getting the Eurovision song contest, or am I just being a synic?
The facebook group has been great as we have been able to start talking to each other and it sounds like we have a really good group of different people.
Anyway, I am off to sit on my rucksack to make more room. P.S, Did I mention my daughter gets married in less than 3 weeks? no pressure just a big white wedding here in the village and then off to Brixham for the do. What we need is more planning to do.
