My stuff fits

The backpack isn't so small. I mean, it's not huge but it's not tiny either. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's just right. The only thing that bothers me is the enormous fleece which takes as much room as the sleeping bag, and judging by the weather report I might only wear it once out of 99 days.

The backpack is getting closer to being completely packed. By this time tomorrow I should be officially packed.

One of the guys in work suggested I note down the contact details of the British Embassy in each country I'm visiting, plus the details of my banks in case my passport or credit cards go missing. That's an awesome idea but as with most things nowadays I just need to find time to do it.

I ordered some new iPhone headphones today to replace the set that fell apart last week. I tried to get some in Cardiff on the weekend but couldn't find any anywhere. Some moron tried to pass iPod headphones off as iPhone headphones and charge me £25 for the priveledge! Hopefully they'll arrive before Saturday otherwise three months with no music for me...

I got Rio booked, finally! I'm staying a block away from Copacabana beach which sounds seriously cool! I'm really looking forward to Brasil even though most of the guides I've read say it's really dangerous, and to never wander into a favella at anytime of day.
