A wardrobe in a suitcase

Where I've been-moving

October 25, 2013

Hi everyone, 

Wanted to check in with a quick hello. Moving day is fast approaching--tonight is my last proper night at home. The weekend is filled with social activities (wakeboarding, and an outdoor concert at the Opera), then it's off to  Far North Queensland for one last field trip, back to Sydney for a day, then off to Scotland. The US part of the tour got cancelled, which is a bit of a disappointment (I need to see my family and friends), but is also a blessing in disguise--it simplifies the packing. 

I haven't taken photos of the packing process, because it's come down to "throw everything I can't bear to be without into the suitcase". I'll take photos as I unpack--see what survived. 

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm keeping an eye on everyone's fabulous adventures, even if I'm not able to chime in as much as I'd like. :)

    It sounds like quite a busy time for you. Good luck with your move!

    Bon voyage et bon courage in your travels Becky. I am wondering if wakeboarding is the same as knee boarding.

    Good luck with your move! I hope you find time to visit friends and family soon.

    Best wishes!  Look forward to hearing about your new adventures.  Maybe you can nab some of that high-quality Scottish cashmere that's been mentioned on the forum lately!

    Lantana, wakeboarding is similar to kneeboarding in that you're towed by a boat. Otherwise, it's closer to water skiing. A wakeboard looks like a snowboard. It's a similar size, and it has fins on the bottom to keep you stable. And big heavy (supportive) boots. Of course, being a stylish gal, my boots are an iridescent purple.. :) 

    Beth--You'd best believe I will be hunting down the high-quality knitwear while there! First order of business is a coat, though. I don't own a single one! (haven't needed one in a couple of years)

I'm a American scientist-in-training at a university in Sydney, Australia. My research has me frequently travelling to the Great Barrier Reef and Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm not really a minimalist, but I have to make it work. Read on and see if it can be done, and if so, how!
