With this entry, I hereby christen this Journal.
It's 5 days until I leave for a very long flight to Phnom Penh, and there is still quite a lot to do. Jabs, check; malaria tablets, check; mosquito repellent, check; laptop--currently being held hostage at the neighbours after a stupid delivery man left it with people we do not know and who seem not to be home, ever; packing....this is more complicated. I'm packed for Cambodia, but still need to pack up everything else and put it in storage for the summer.
I'm starting to get quite excited, but the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland could delay my flight. Cross your fingers that the ash disperses properly and its safe to fly by Sunday night at 9pm. If I can just get a plane out of Europe, it should all be fine.

Other than that, I'm enjoying wearing long-sleeves and jackets for the last time this summer. Bring on the Heat!
Until next time.
