I woke up this morning feeling particularly excited about June. I was excited before but I think I was so overwhelmed by it all that it hadn't fully sunk in. Some of the initial nerves have disapparated (mostly) now, too. I have nothing to be nervous about!

It's twelve weeks on Monday until I go! Eeeeeeek!!! I'm going to allow myself after the 8 week mark to start purchasing things to take that I don't already have :)

All I can think about at the moment is what travel sack to get. I am thinking of the Osprey (swoon) Fairpoint 55:

(£85 Nomad Travel Store)

although some have suggested a duffle might be better, like this one:

 (£45 The North Face)

but I think I would be more likely to reuse the Osprey (and it's so pretty). 

After reading travellers blogs though, it is more important to be practical, so I will have to push those 'Oh but it's so pretty' and 'But you have to take it, what if so and so happens?' thoughts away when deciding what to buy, what to pack, and what to leave at home.

I will eventually post a packing list on here. It would be good to get some advice on it, maybe! :)
