Mags in the Rainforest The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everybody else!

Decided to get a new suitcase today, l,ve been worrying about what kind of luggage to bring in case l have to lug it around. Minds been put at rest now, theres places where main luggage can be left and picked up on the way back.....l want to bring some dressy up things as well as my roughing it clothes! I,ve been run off my feet last few days buying stuff that l need to bring, things like scissors, string, address book etc...etc..l,ve also bought some stuff to take in the rainforest for the children.....crayons, drawing paper, pens, pencils and bobbles and hair ribbons! I,m looking forward to doing stuff with them. As ususal wherever l go l have to clean my house and change the bedding etc...which is all very well but tiring as well as other things that need doing, l think l must be a bit neurotic! Its done my head in about what goddamn hand luggage to take, why do these things have to be such an arse-ache, .its been..rucksack...no handbag...no rucksack.....no handbag, Anyhow you.ll be pleased to know l,m sorted at last. The handbag won! Now we are on for a few hrs to go! Its 10.37pm on the 21st July my taxi is booked for 3.30am the flights not till 6.30am but because of security issues,travellers have to be there a lot earlier. How am l feeling at the moment, well l,ve had a meal with two of my kids which was lovely. My forthcoming trip seems unreal at the moment.....Mike rang me a couple of hours a go to confirm he would be meeting me at Lima airport. Oh my god l,ve got 3 planes to catch....1 to Paris, then to venuzeula, then onto Peru. And l,m travelling alone, havent done anything as far as this before.....dont understand why l,m not s******g it! Well l,m not at the airport yet. Writing off for now, so l,ll see you in Peru..Lots of love and bye for now. xxxxx
