mutterings

since i embark on my journey not this week but next, i have thought i might, perhaps, possibly write a travellog. I'm not sure if i wanted this blog to be about my mutterings and bundles of words that sum up only a fraction of what my eye really sees and what my heart really feels, but why not afterall, it is mine. it could too be something fun and interesting and explorational.
i'll start with packing then. since i am going to the land of clothing and coffee, as in, the land of milk and honey, i am packing next to nothing. what is next to nothing, well it's this: two sarongs, a long black skirt, a grey dress, a black dress, stockings, shorts, two or three tops, two jerseys, a scarf, sandals, a sheet and a pillow slip, and my travel clothes, jeans, top, jacket, all stars. imagine what i could come back with!
i am packing three cameras (a disposable, a film and a generic digital) for extra strength visual experience for the kids in fifty years time, a journal too, for something has to be crafted now and then; my nice new sunnies which make the world look gold and green, even the white clouds shine, and of course a bundle of cash to go everywhere.
so this is only the beginning...
