The last, hot, sweaty hours

I'm enjoying my last night stubbornly salty and in bathers, intermittently milling around trying to find something I've forgotten, playing DS and picking at the wicked banana-carrot loaf I baked. Most likely the most conservative baked goods I'll be eating for a loooooong time. I also figured out Skype so y'all should get connected. And I learned how to make origami koalas...which I'm sure will be useful...in cross-cultural relations...(?)

Maynard has managed to fit in a last minute wash at 9.30pm the day before we leave. At least it's not a last minute pack. Pretty fair effort considering his reputation, which he continually disputes. His effort at protecting his guitar from luggage rough-housing is epic. It took an hour and about 6 square meters of bubble wrap. I finished a whole level of My Sims on NDS before he had decided on the number of inner layers. If only my travel insurance wrapped me in bubble wrap, if the plane crashed I would have a cushioned landing with a really satisfying sound. waffle waffle waffle...mmm cake.

On a high note, May has just informed me that certain government publications advise that your travel insure should cover the cost of sending your body back should one die overseas. He's now in a man vs mosquito dilemma, apparently his opponent is 'really...aggressive'. It's pretty funny.

We will be leaving tomorrow at 5:30pm, arriving 7am on Wednesday. I'll be hitting the ground running work-wise so I probably won't be bothering anyone for a few days but after that I'll want to tell you all about it. No time differences between here and there so excuses for ignoring me on the basis of sleeping patterns will not be accepted.

and hence, oyasumi nasai :)
