Ready to go.

I think I have everything. Today I finished off the shopping with some supasexy waterproof trousers and sunscreen while in Canary Wharf. I'm making the schoolgirl mistake of going for cocktails with Yvonne and Bert tonight, and it's the BB Final tomorrow night with Marwick and Decs, so if anything is forgotten at this stage, it's going to stay that way. Ready for lift-off Saturday morning, stupid-o'clock (10am), from Heathrow.

Blogger is quite cool. I email posts through from the Blackberry, and they appear on the blog. It's like magic, without any form of mystery.

So. This is it. Next post sometime after landing on Saturday night, Nairobi. At that point I would have met the 13 strangers I'll be spending the next 3 or so weeks with, so I'm sure there'll be an observation or 58.
