Mr Womack goes on his travels

I have packed a 55-litre and a 15-litre rucksack, until both bulge; suntan lotion, insect repellent, anti-malarial tablets, spare Ventolin inhaler, shorts, trousers, shampoo, washing lotion, passports, plane ticket, guide to the sights of Taiwan, waterproof, alarm clock, underwear, tops (long-sleeved), tops (short-sleeved) and an amazingly fully-featured first-aid kit packed by Mum.

Tomorrow I take the 0540 to KX, thence to Heathrow, then the 0945 to Frankfurt and the 1330 to Delhi.

Today, I'm going to go and see Curse of the Were-Rabbit, thus assuring that the flight to Delhi will have as available entertainment Curse of the Were-Rabbit and four Bollywood romances in undubbed Urdu. Then to the Carlton this evening, for tasty food and goodbyes.

If you want a postcard from Tom's travels, leave your name and address in the comments.

If you want a 'where's Tom now' Google Maps hack, on which a small red push-pin indicates an estimate of my current location, http://www.dracos.co.uk/tomstravels is the web-site for you. Matthew Somerville is truly a wonderful person.

One flight gets into O'Hare at 1145, the other leaves at 1330, so I'll not be seeing Chicago on this trip. Maybe in '08 ...

It wasn't Curse of the Were-Rabbit in Urdu, it was Cinderella Man, about boxing in the Depression, in English. Fortunately they also had Weber's clarinet quintet on indefinite repeat on one of the other channels, and I had some books.
