Ready for the off

Morning campers.
It's 8.30am on the day of my departure, the cab gets here in an hour and, predictably enough, I'm not even remotely ready.

I have no idea what you pack for 3 months away, when you'll be on two separate continents and in at least 3 different climatic zones (probably including "typhoon", which will be a new one on me). Now I'd like to think I'm a pretty sensible person, so the top things on my to-bring list were obviously:

Series two of The Wire,
My hilariously funny "I'm on a boat" T-shirt,
6 gallons of TRESemme,
Enough Green & Blacks to sink the ship.

So yeah, fully prepared. hmm...

Off to Tokyo this morning for a whistlestop 2 day visit to the city. I'll try not to get horribly lost/ abducted/ go native and forget to leave. Hopefully boarding the ship at Yokohama on the 5th and then off we go!

I have nothing sciencey to add yet, although I'm pretty sure i'll have to bend the space-time continuum to get all my stuff in this rucksack.
For the moment you'll just have to content yourself with this:



It's all you're going to hear about for 2 months so get used to it.
