IanSo, it’s packing day! It has come very quickly this year, and I can’t quite believe we are going away after the stressful year I have had! Follow me as I pack for my week away to Malta!
Well, we have arrived! Our trip to Malta is tomorrow! As I said above, I can’t quite believe it! I have been so stressed over the last few months that this creeped up on me without me knowing! It’s a good thing as I need a break! So let’s start packing!
I am using the suitcase I used in Florida last year for two reasons, really: one, it should be big enough to put all my clothes in for the week, and two, it will allow me to bring some stuff back from Malta, as I love a souvenir from the places I have been! As we are travelling on business, we can take up to 2x 32kg, so there should be plenty of space for me!
That’s the first side done! I have put my shirts, underwear, gym wear and swimwear in the case. I am not sure if I will use the gym, but I will at least try. The same goes for swimming! I’d rather have them than not!
Once that was done, it was time to get some last-minute stuff from the holiday from Sainsbury’s! I needed shampoo, shower gel, and a few other things for the holiday! I went with mum as she needed a few things too!
I checked in on Mum to see how she was getting on, and as I arrived, she had already packed. She is much quicker and efficient than I am! Neatly packed as always!
With this trip, I’m retiring my old Cabin Max backpack for my Nordace backpack, since I can store more things in it, and I was running out of room on my old one! I will still use the Cabin Max backpack, should I go on a plane that won’t take my Nordace bag!
And with my cabin backpacked and ready for tomorrow’s trip, I was finally packed and ready to go, despite my friends’ displeasure with packing so late and calling me last-minute.com!! I have a few things to put in my bag tonight, once I have used them and then in the morning too.
Tomorrow will be an early rise! My dad is taking me, Mum, and my friend to Gatwick, so shoutout to my Dad for getting up early and getting us there in plenty of time! We take off at 1000, and we are travelling in Business class! We will arrive in Malta around 1415 their time, then take a hire car to the hotel! I am looking forward to it as I need a break!!
I will, of course, be blogging along the way, so join me tomorrow for my travel day to Malta!
