at an AirBnB up a remote dirt track. Meds are carefully zipped into my hand luggage like a paranoid countess might carry her priceless jewellery. Woe betide the amateur who puts medication into the hold luggage and then has to frantically scour foreign pharmacies for a substitute when their luggage is lost and everyone else goes to the beach. Does this sound like too detailed an example? You are correct, it is something I have learned the hard way. Be less like me.
Next up it’s the medicine adjacents. Stuff which I won’t keel over if I don’t have, but again, remind me that I am rushing towards middle age. Iron supplements , tablets in case of dreaded UTIs, Berocca . After this comes skin stuff. Oh, you used to just buy mini deodorant and shampoo in an airport? That was before we were all told to develop a skincare routine which must consist of no less than 12 steps. Can’t decant that tiny vial of serum which helps keep your wrinkles at bay. Can’t ditch the cream that stops the spots you’re still getting even though you’re nearly 40.into your case. These eight books will be a horrible and chaotic mix.
If you have kids, then there is a much bigger and worse step here, which is packing up their endless paraphernalia. Luckily for me, I, so instead I have to gather up the dog’s stuff instead. The dog doesn’t have a skincare routine but he does have his own food, bowls, rugs, harnesses and – oh, the shame! – a special stuffed animal to be carted around.
