Well - here we are at the night before the day we go. Taking only 1x30 litre rucksack ( a waterproof BMW motorcycle one) with two trousers, a few icebreaker shirts and a spare pair of shoes. Got the paperwork elsewhere in my shoulder bag. Wearing streeeeetch trousers and a short sleeved icebreaker on the plane. Checked in online today (only allowed up to 24 hours before) for a pair of seats on a window side so only have to climb over each other to get to loo and walk around. Qantas want $80 per seat to book an exit-row seat - we gracefully declined. On the 0651 out of Springwood tomorrow - see I'm already getting used to the European 24 hour time - and have breakfast at the airport.
9 hours to Honkers and then 14 hours to Rome after a few hours break - always supposing that the Qantas planes and passengers behave. I saw HP7 on Thursday night and so of course now have to read the book to compare movie and story - a big book to carry on the trip but it should keep me occupied.
Have also got an App for the iPhone which will have me speaking like an Italian native by Tuesday (apparently!) so I'll look into that as well on the plane.
Ciao
