3 sleeps until we leave Canberra

As the title says - three sleeps to go now :-) I've been scraping ice off the car every morning for the last month, but in a few days we'll be sweltering in Los Angeles. Right now as I type this it's 4:20 AM in Los Angeles and 16 degrees - that's warmer than it has been here any time for weeks!
Finished up work yesterday - although I must admit I spent some time this morning sending off an eMail about some stuff I meant to cover off in a meeting yesterday, and didn't. Hopeless, I know. I did promise them I'd try to stop thinking about work!
Today we bought the last few little bits and pieces - tomorrow we have to make everything fit into our bags - that'll be the fun bit! We also need to take the Falcon to a friend's place - we thought it was safer to loan it out to someone while we're away rather than just leave it parked in the back yard. The Lancer though is being locked away in the garage.
We went out tonight for a farewell dinner with Adam - his choice of restaurant so we went to the Shogun Teppanyaki in the city. They serve eel which is one of Adam's favourites - he also had a big serve of sushi. This time last year he was in China on his big adventure, now it's Paul and I going away.
