COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS


A week to go before we head off to the States.  So much time, so little left to do... I know that sounds the wrong way round but I did start packing a few weeks ago.  
Got the new bike, love the new bike.  Thursday I took delivery of the lightweight bag to get the bicycle on the plane and so far so good.  I may post pictures when I get it right.  I took the bike apart, stripped it of the bits not going with me (wooden mudguards, wooden bottle cage, etc etc), did a packing trial and put it back together again.  It was with great relief that I found everything went together as it should and all the gears worked.  Phew, what a relief.

Decisions remaining - should I revisit my packing or just close the case?   What will I do for a couple of days after the Grand Canyon trip and before flying to Washington DC?  [Probably Santa Monica] How short will I get my hair cut on Thursday?
Such a trial
