Leaving Australia Behind

As we wait in our hotel room for our last few hours in Australia I feel calm and ready for our new adventure to begin. The excitement comes and goes in waves; my heartbeat slightly accelerates when I look at my luggage and think ‘there is no way that bursting suitcase is going to weigh less than the 30 kilos allowed’.  To be honest even when I go for a mere week away it weighs over the limit and I have to huff and puff and usually sit on it to get it closed. It’s better to be over prepared than under prepared, right? That’s the story I’m sticking with anyway! Every girl needs three cosmetics bags, two laptops (one for work by the way), and as many clothes and she can squeeze in I tell Adrian. I did narrow it down to only one handbag and 5 pairs of shoes though, which is no mean feat for a girl who’s as obsessed with shoes and handbags as I am! And included in the 5 pairs of shoes are my joggers, which is a new thing for me. Joggers and someone who’s as uncoordinated as me don’t usually mix well and so far during my 25 years I’ve kept exercise at bay. Now that we’re engaged and I have the wedding day coming up (yes a year and a half away still qualifies as ‘coming up’) I have decided to do what every other bride-to-be does and get in the best shape of my life for the big day. Well this is the plan and I’m hoping in the next 18 months I can turn myself into an exercise loving freak. And I mean freak in the nicest way possible but honestly exercise hurts, and who on earth would want to get out of a nice warm cosy bed to go for a morning jog? Anyway I’d best get back to packing, our new adventure awaits! xx
