Twenty five days...

Less than four weeks before departure and I'm starting to accumulate 'stuff' to take on the tour, such as...

• Malaria pills and a growing pile of assorted medications for various ailments
• Power adapter for the laptop and battery charger
• Maps of the areas we're visiting
  
• Spare 2G card for my digital camera
  
• Books and minidiscs of music to pass the time on long plane and bus journeys

Though I did come to the realisation that two 2G camera cards would allow something like 2500 pictures on my camera's second highest quality setting. Must remember to edit as I go, or that's just going to be too many to handle. To think that last time I was in Asia I restricted myself to only six rolls of film in four weeks!

Spent the morning playing glow-in-the-dark mini golf with my daughter. She's a bit worried about Dad travelling to the other side of the world and being away for three weeks, so I'm trying hard to spend as much time with her as I can.
