While I was planning on tidying paperwork today, I have instead completed a futher 10 rows of my Mum's sock instead. It's currently looking like she'll have one hand-knit sock to see her through to the new year at this rate.
Preparations for the upcoming trip are travelling well, if a little slowly, as I spent today purchasing more modest, loose fitting, natural fibre clothing with Mum. I now have an excellent selection of shirts, mainly white to help with the heat and a new pair of jeans to replace the pair that died in Brisbane.
My itinerary is likely to arrive some time tonight to give me a rough idea of what time to show up at the airport on Friday which is great. More details when I receive it.
Still can't quite believe I'll be in another country in four days time. It's a little mind boggling. I guess that's why I'm having trouble with the preparations today.
All that's left to do is:
- pack
- travel insurance
- osteo if possible
- tetanus shot (icky)
- notify the embassy
- procure a non-dodgy-looking hat for modesty
- leave contact details for friends/family
So far I've achieved:
- certified copies of my passport
- adding a pair of clocks to my blog so that I can see the time in Doha and Melbourne
- read the Qatar & culture sections in the Lonely Planet Guide
- added a blog subscription service so that people can still get email updates of my blog without necessarily having to check blogger regularly (if anyone does read this regularly)
- getting a conservative haircut/colour to fit in
Other good news is that Gene's joining me in two weeks time! Yay!
Okay must go make lists of things not to forget on my palm.
Ahhhh! :)
