Two Suitcases

Two suitcases I'm allowed. Two. Deux. Duo. One life, two suitcases - what?????

This is the problem with two suitcases.

On the one hand: Two cases to bundle up my life, work, rest and play for the next seven months. That's 46Kg of stuff. Not sure what stuff exactly. Two cases, maybe one for work stuff, one for non-work stuff??? How come there's no website for packing advice for a 7 month trip around the world where you want to work and see what's going on in the world?

On the other hand: Two cases. Two hands. Now what? Where do I carry my passport? I can't make a phone call and move with the suitcases. I can't have a drink. I can't get on the train or the tube very easily. I can't read a map (unless it's on the wall - no jokes about women and maps please.) And I'll never ever find a loo big enough to fit me, two suitcases and hand luggage - so having a wee while en-route from one place to another is a non-starter. Lets hope my journeys are either short or lacking in liquid beverages.

So, having discussed these two cases I should actually start packing sometime soon. 9 days I think till I go. I have a list as long as my arm and up the next arm of things to do. Now I've got to start.

First things first.....

Crap!! What's first???
