Last month in England

We're now into August and seeing as I'm only in England for the first 2 days of September I think it's fair to count this as my last month in the UK. In terms of the trip I'm almost there, the Indian visa has all been filled in and just needs to be posted off. All else that really remains is around 2 and a half weeks of work and then the inevitable goodbyes which are not going to be easy but I don't think leaving those you care about ever is. Pisa has now replaced Siena in the Italy route, it's cheaper and sounds more interesting anyway, other than that it's pretty much the same. It is getting to that stage where I need to be packing my backpack and seeing what's what. To be honest I can't believe how close it all is now, I don't think I can do any more preparing, I just want to be on that plane to Rome.
