And we are off.....almost

OK, Bag packed yet?
er no.........
faffing anonymous here, so last minute.com it will be then.
A bit of chasing around buying last minute bits and pieces a visit to my Mum and Dad and a quick Skype recap and facebook messenger (will save a fortune in phone bill) and a copy of my schedule with the words
"Rio time is 4 hours behind UK time"
in large letters at the top will hopefully do the trick. (or not)

I think I have everything printed ready to take.
e-tickets - check
Insurance documents - check
Last Leg tickets - check
Archery Tickets - check
Swimming tickets - check
Apartment address - check

Pretty sure though I have most things on the internet and I should be able to access from there.

Got a bit of a scare when I had a new roster appear in my inbox changing the shifts away from my previous days off, the very days I booked my tickets as I knew I had no shifts. But luckily my team manager is on the case and shifted them all back as they were. I did have to do a double take when the next email arrived removing those shifts as at first all I saw were the days and was in another "Oh no" mode, though decided if needs be I can sort when there.
Just waiting to hear if we have been allocated tickets to attend the final dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony, which would be on the day before I start my shifts, so would be brilliant. Fingers crossed everyone who applied gets them. I have 2 new SD cards for my camera, so be prepared for masses of photos and updates.

So the headache is already starting to build, I knew I had forgotten something when I suddenly thought "stugeron" so I can sleep on the plane, which would be brilliant, so maybe I can pick that up at Gatwick to go along with the rest of the drugs I am taking with me, headache pills, indigestion tablets, anti-histamines, immodium etc etc

Time to finish off a few more bits of faffing and then see if everything I want to take will fit in the suitcase I have, then heading off to the airport in the morning, with flight mid afternoon, heading to Casablanca, then from there to Rio.

Gosh time seems to have flown very quickly since deciding I was actually going after all. Now it's here I expect it will all be very like a dream until I get home again.
So I will see you all on the other side from Rio once I am in the apartment.
Looking forward to an awesome couple of weeks, a new adventure and some great sport.
Bring on the Superhumans
