T-Minus 5 months

Just sitting at home having a lazy Sunday, doing my usual research and reading about the trip and realised it’s exactly 5 months to the day we go. AAAHHHHH :)

So with five months to go I’ve a few things done. Got my backpack, a Berghaus Jalan 55l and got it pretty cheap on the internet. Yay! 55l might be a bit big for me but I’ll have to wait and see. Got a few bits and pieces too… my handy Sporkfff, toiletry bag ( its got cupcakes all over it, haha), silk sleeping sheet and maybe one or two more things I can’t think of…

I keep wanting to go out and buy everything I need but have to remind myself it’s still quite a while away and calm myself down. Seriously like, I’d have everything bought for my first-aid kit and all assembled in a small tuberware container and waiting in the cupboard if I didn’t stop myself!! Loser, ha!

Here at home in Cork we just had a bad couple of days weather-wise. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain!! Pretty bad floods and everything. Makes me look forward to getting away from the cold and rain and winter and everything a little bit more.

Mmm… only 150 days to 20°C+ and Rio sunshine…
