    My life in 70KG (+14KG Hand Luggage)

    With a view to starting my new life in Vietnam I am packing for my flight tomorrow. I hate packing and have recruited Ms CFL as she will not be joining me for three weeks. Which based on my previous behaviour will lead to 3 weeks of beer towers, NO balloons and

    Important decisions include:

    Do I use my carry on for all the goddamn vehicle importation paperwork, or my medicine (6 months supply as none of it is available in VN) & electronics?

    Do I take my helmet, Sparcos and dress every day like a power ranger, or comfortable Sunspel and die a horrible death?

    Do I take my 3 panniers & sacrifice 30KG of luggage allowance so I don't have to bungee everything to my GS?

    Goddamn country has so many seasons that I have no idea what clothes to pack. If any of you are in Hanoi in April 2020, I will be the guy at the AMG hospitality area dressed in hiking boots, swimming shorts and a plastic rain poncho.

    (Not directly related to packing, but does having sex with oneself in Singapore Suites qualify for the mile high club?)

    Have fun kiddos, and best of luck with all the changes that are happening in the contracting world (and the unmentionable) over the next year. I am going to take another CUKer sabatical.
