Feels like I frittered around a lot today, at least I managed to work out which days I'll be in a certain area and booked another car reservation (area requires a car to traverse). That felt like a lot of work. Plus going to a friend's place to pick up a backpack kindly loaned for this trip.

Buuuuuuuut I HAVEN'T EVEN REMOTELY STARTED TO PACK and I leave in less than 48 hours and I have work on both Mon and Tue that I have to go into the office for. And I still haven't organised my SIM card or travel insurance... and I still have some food to cook and freeze before I go... god I'm so last minute with this trip.

Okay, deep breath because I know I can control this and I pack very efficiently at the last minute.

G'night.

Goodnight.

How are you going to get a SIM bought and delivered in time?? You need a concierge/assistant. Travel insurance is a 15 minute job and packing (assuming you've got your clothes clean) is maybe 30 minutes so no stress there. Cutting it real fine for the SIM card though.

I used simcorner on my last trip and they were excellent.

Late reply, but I'm going to go for one of the airport pickup SIMs... they should hopefully be fine. I certainly needed an assistant the past three weeks - so much life stuff still undone that will need to be resumed when I get home. I should've known it'll take me a while to build up my stamina for full time work hours and that this would happen! 😩
