Preparation

Wednesday July 30

For three months now, I have been preparing for the trip I have been planning to do for many years.

It's a rail journey round Europe.

On paper, it all sounds very easy, but it's been like a military operation trying to plan it.

But the last bits of information are here from the various tourist boards, almost all the train journeys have been booked and the Thomas Cook rail map and timetables already look very well thumbed indeed.

A day at work tomorrow, then the, as always, last minute panic to decide what will have to stay at home and what I will absolutely NEED on my travels.

A kettle, absolutely! A jacket, hopefully not. Passport.

Oh my god!
