34 hours!!

34 hours left until it's time to leave my home sweet home here in Finland (if my counting was correct..)! I'm starting to get soooooo excited!

All day today I have been doing laundry, one load after another...I haven't really given any thought to packing and what to take with me, which pretty much means no sleep for me for the last night here! I will be packing and unpacking through the night! Oh what fun. I HATE packing. I'll have time to sleep on the plane anyway. 

I just printed out our travel itinerary and it had the flight times in it. After the first short flight to Milan (flight time 3h 5min) it starts to get to some scary numbers; Milan-Hong Kong 11h 35min and Hong Kong-Sydney 9h 10min, yikes! I consider myself as a somewhat frequent flyer on the longer flights and they are really not that fabulous. Spending 7-8 hours on one seat trying to get comfortable is not an easy job! I have gotten lucky a few times, when flying on a really big plane that's not totally packed I've had the luxury to spread out to 4 seats and actually sleep!

Anyways, I always get so rambly with the writing, sorry! Tomorrow is the last day to get the last minute things done, I know I'll be running everywhere the whole day! Unlike Emmi who actually gets things done early and doesn't have to do the ''last minute run-around''. I have to check on my driver's licence, get some Australian dollars and buy some last minute necessities. And last but not least, pack my backpack. And I decided to take my laptop with me, so yay for that! Now I just have to figure out how to carry it around because I don't want to take my actual laptop bag. 

Something I have yet not mentioned is the hostel we will be staying for the first couple of nights. It's called Base, located pretty much in the center of the city. We heard some good things about it and decided to give it a go. 

One last things for all of you that speak and understand finnish, Emmi writes her own Australia blog, link to it HERE. Check it out! That's an order :)
