Getting ready to go

Today I have been getting all my stuff ready to go.  I like to put it out on chairs like this a day before I go as it helps me not to forget anything.  The white bags are full of presents for all the children which I have spent this afternoon sorting out.  This year I have decided not to take too many clothes as last year I carted over far too many clothes which I wasn't able to wear because it was too cold.  As I'm going to Scotland where its bound to be cold I've decided to borrow everything I need.  I've also bought myself a proper coat so I should be OK.

I've also been finishing up some administrative work and this evening I am going to meditate with Adar.  A good thing to do just before my journey begins.
