As you are reading this I am at Birmingham airport waiting to board my flight to Thailand!! Eeeeeeeeeee! I can't wait to get away from rainy England and bask in 35 degree heat. What do I pack has been the big question on my mind ever since I got my flights booked back in May. You can read all about my preparations here.
