    Departure day is always a bit weird for me, but I think this one went as well as could be hoped for. It was an evening flight, and I ‘booked’ a taxi for 4, so I had time to kill. ( The booking process was “what time? ok, I’ll see you then” ) Got breakfast…

    Slept pretty well, though maybe the poolside beer helped a little with that? I did, of course, wake up early & not really get back to sleep, but that seems to be a thing with travel days.Packing up didn’t take long; I’ve almost got a system for flying days, which is mostly “meds & anything…

    There’s a bunch I could write about travel planning, and anxiety about travelling, and the things that haven’t gone right so far, but I wanted to write something positive. Maybe I’ll put something in later, backdated to provide the seamless blogging experience you’ve come to expect.
