You can do it...you don't need as much stuff as you think you do. They do have laundry facilities "over there"....I used to bring fourteen pairs of socks and fourteen changes of shorts for a two week trip...now i just go. The adventure of using a laundromat in another country is unparalleled. Nothing like explaining how to use the laundromat in the UK to a German tourist when you're an American.

And how nice that I no longer have to bring two camera bodies and five lenses and three dozen rolls of film with me...one digital and several SD cards and it's good to go.

Whittle that luggage down!

Best

Thank you for the encouragement AA. 15 KG plus about 3 Kg of work but I need the job to go back to on Monday. Two kilts will need to suffice.

This is shaping up to being a truly international gathering, with Scots, Irish, English, Norwegian, German, Turkish and USA nationalities all taking part!
