How fast can you pack a suitcase??

'We will miss the bus'

'We will sleep out the alarm'

'The alarm wont work'

'Bloody hell Amy stop being so paranoid!'

Not the greatest thoughts to be having at 2am when you have to be up at half 5 to make the move to the next destination. I always suffer from a bit of stress before we head off. But last night was particularly bad. I was even having dreams of waking up at 11am after missing the bus and being stuck and for some reason having no money or passport. Paranoia isnt in it.

So, after dozing for about 3 hours, I was lying in the dark waiting for the alarm at 5:30, and thought 'what time is it'. I hit my friend's iPad. 5:58 ....

5:58!!!! F**K!!!! Bus is arriving in 2 minutes.

I jumped up, hit the girls. 'Girls, its 6am. Get up, get up, the f*****g iPad didnt go off '.

So, how quick do you think you can pack a suitcase? We did it in about 3 minutes. I have never moved so fast.

After all that and 9 hours of travelling later, we have arrived in Koh Tao, the final planned island destination on my Asia trip. To be continued ....
