Getting to the nitty gritty :(

Today was the first attempt at packing the mountains of "stuff" (all indispensible of course) into the purple people eater (my back pack).  Aim is to fit it all in and come in under 20 kg. Good news is it only weighed 17.6 kgs - way to go me!!! Bad news is I still haven't packed toiletries or footwear. This leaves me in the predicament of being a smelly, barefoot but neatly back packed Aussie tourist. Will probably fit in well with all the other Aussie backpackers then lol.  Well ....better go and give it another shot!!!
