One hour to go!

Its torture, with just one hour until we leave for the airport. Andrew is very relaxed playing World of Warcraft while I try to keep busy. I am very anxious to be on my way, I love the journey and am looking forward to whatever adventures may come along.
The planning and the packing are one of my favourite things, along with the anticipation comes the pleasure of getting everything I need into one suitcase. Even though I travel with one of the smaller, 55cm, cases I always take too much stuff. What does that say about how we collect "things" and "stuff" around us.  Motorcycle trips are similar because there is only so much you can take on a bike.
Whats in the suitcase?

• sleeping bag for camping
• travel hairdryer
• 1 pair jeans
• 1 pair hiking pants
• 1 skirt
• 2 pairs sandals, 1 dressy & 1 hiking
• raincoat
• underwear and socks
• togs & travel towel
• complete set of merinos for hiking/canoeing
• 3 t-shirts
• toilet bag
• stuff for Alan & Kallan (mostly sweets)
• crochet hooks, scissors, needles

and in my cabin bag:

• laptop
• iPad
• iPhone
• cords & connectors for above
• wool & plastic crochet hooks
• passport (ha! got it)
• tickety wickety
• sweets & almonds
• glasses
• wool
• empty bottle for water

Alan has set of already to Toronto where him & Kallan will stay overnight and spend the day sightseeing before they pick me up.
