Last minute packing

Two more days before we fly out to Singapore. We arrive on Singapore's national holiday to celebrate their independence. I've always hated packing (probably from all the 40+ moves I had in the last 15 years) but this one I hate even more because I'm only allowed 20kg and I have to bring months supply of other things as there is no supermarket to go to in PNG. 10kg is already filled with books and medical equipment. My bag weighs 3.5kg. So that's 13.5kg of miscellaneous things. Which leaves me with 6.5kg for my clothes, toiletries..etc... Which isn't very much really when you think about it.

The saga today wasn't any of these, but the pharmacist is telling me one of the anti HIV tablet that I need just in case of a needle stick injury has recently been taken off the market because of tablet contamination. He had over a week to sort this out but only told me today (well friday afternoon when we couldn't do anything about it). Typical isn't it. Then I went over to the bank to get travellers cheque but the bureau de exchange department was completely close for whatever reason and there was a note on the window saying sorry for the inconvenience. sometimes London can be like such a third world country. Trying not to stress but obviously I am. I am really looking forward to being on that plane and have all of this packing sorted.

On Thursday in Singapore I will be meeting family to have dinner, watch the fireworks and relax. That sounds really good at the moment. I'm really glad I'm not going straight to Papua New Guinea first, but to rest and holiday in singapore and Vietnam sounds exactly what Ingo and I need!
