Pre-Trip Post

Apparently when you travel alone, you learn a lot about yourself. The trip hasn't even begun and I have discovered so much:

1. I am more vain than I previously thought. I am too vain to embark on a holiday for more than, I would estimate 4 days, with a backpack. I have too much stuff. I am finding it almost impossible to let go of a lot of the make up I should really just leave behind.
2. I cannot "cull". I have tried. Either that, or the bag is too small. However Phuong managed to use the very same backpack for 3 months in Europe. Typicall she is at a rock concert, so is too busy being a groupie to lead the much needed cull.
3. My imagination is just way too overactive, and needs to go away. It also leans towards the worst case scenario. Which may explain the close to 1 million diarrhoea tablets and antibiotics I have packed. I am certain Cairo authorities will pick me up for dealing drugs.
4. I get lonely really really fast. I miss y'all already. :o)
5. I am a little too attached to my hair straightener.

Goodnight everyone. It's time this little traveller went to bed. Salam!
