Gone walkabout

How do you squeeze everything you think you may need for the next nine months
of your life backpacking through hundreds of countries into one bloody backpack?

For him:

1. organize all your items into neat little stacks on the floor
2. shake your head in disbelief and take away half the stuff
3. repeat steps 1 and 2 until everything fits into the backpack
4. repeat steps 1 and 2 until you can actually lift the backpack 😉

   Target: 17 kg max

For her:

1. smuggle all the heavy stuff into your hubby’s backpack
2. leave behind most of your beloved shoes and clothes 😦

Do I really have to leave THESE too?

Will it all fit in here?

Finally … the first day of our sabbatical has arrived and it’s time to start our travel blog!

Too bad our real estate agent thought 9am would be a fantastic time to plant this bright red “For Lease” sign right outside of our bedroom window. How could he!

Well I guess there are still plenty of opportunities in the coming months to sleep in 😛
