Final day in UK
alex September 12th, 2008
Today is my last day in UK before flying out tomorrow morning, so have been doing my final bits of packing and getting stressed about my house! I’ve got tenants moving in next week and the boiler broke down on Wednesday. I’ve had to arrange a new boiler to be fitted before Wed next week - something I could really do without - but at least it’s taken my mind off getting anxious about going away.
The photo above shows everything I’ll be taking with me - doesn’t seem like much for a year. There are some fairly random items, such as rounders bat & ball and frisbee, plus more practical stuff like passport and malaria tablets. All weighs in at just under 20kg, so not too bad (and mainly due to various power leads/chargers) - I’ve traveled with more for a 3 week holiday!

All the best Alex - hope the journey goes well and everything goes reasonably smoothly at the other end. Look forward to reading about how you find it!
I wasn’t here for your leaving do … but good luck with your VSO job in Ethiopia - I’m sure it will be great fun!
Best wishes!
