(Non) Material Girl

Swapping small twinkly handbags the size of pill boxes for a fuck-off great rucksack is going to be hard my friends, but this Wonder Woman vowed to renounce all material possessions and reinvent herself as an Action Girl so I have no option but to get enthusiastic.

And it's not hard because travel shops are wonderful! You can get gadgets there and everything.
You might not think you need a miniature torch, swiss army knife AND teeny weeny inflatable first aid kit but by jove, you just know if you don't buy one of each you'll find yourself in a face off with a polar bear (though possibly not on the Khao San Road) and you'll wish you'd been more savvy...

So I now own things I never dreamed of!

And here they are...

This is my rucksack. It is very heavy and lugging it around feels like carrying a Monkey on my back (even before it's packed, worringly) but it has a cute zip-off day pack on the front for skipping about on day trips. Which is cool.

It also does lots of other stuff, but I switched off when the boy in the store was telling me about them. I am evil.

Bits and Bobs. I love bits and bobs. Possibly more than life itself.

Here we have luggage labels, locks, a waterproof pouch for my documents, an adapter for UK plugs and a travel towel which is very fluffy and very big and actually, I just want to wrap myself in it right now and go to sleep...

*sigh*

Blogger is playing up so I can't post any more photos tonight but later on I will show you my most favourite thing so far.
