EEk! I'm all packed, and leaving the day after tomorrow...SOOO many probs with the visa though, the Consulate *forgot* to post it to me, so someone in Edinburgh went and got it for me and it Arrived today - very scary!
Hugely excited though, and can't believe I've managed to get everything for 6 months (including melodeon) into hand luggage and big rucksack; it's all go now....
