This is exactly how many days left till lift off (Well it was at the time I screen shot the app😂)

And here is the obligatory photo of the case and hat however I’m not sure I’ll need to take the hat.  They may mistake me for Crocodile Dundee 😂.  Spot the addition to the photo.  My personalised luggage tag courtesy of, the inspiration for my travels, Louise 👍

Below on the left are my trusty flip flops (acquired from my brother’s wedding) which stood me in good stead for my marathon walks around Rome. Although you can’t really see the indentations on the heels and toes.  On the right are a new pair of same flip flops acquired from same wedding (yes I did need 2 pairs🤣).  So we’ll see what they look like at the end of 5 days round New York 🤔
