Priorities, Name dropping and a Flannel Choice

Its Wednesday night, its late, I leave the country in 4 days and so far my packing consists of putting my helmet into its little Uterus of a bag and making a half arsed list of shit I need. Life is about priorities right, and I think my priority up to this point has been about social outtings (because if you stay home you could miss something you know). Tonight was the Wake for Oz Hip Hop Legend Hunter SBX (RIP) who sadly passed away from Cancer last week, so instead of doing the dilligant thing and staying home to pack my shit, I headed off to the Civic to pay my respects. At this point in time I would like to say, I care little about Japan and if I was to die tomorrow I would die happy after the night that I had. Imagine a room full of Music Royalty (for this exercise you can choose your favourite Genre, it doesnt need to be Hip Hop) and you could touch and talk to all of them. This was my evening, I joked with Pressure about his "boyfriend" and then busted out some dance move with him after he finished grinding against Mortar and Swooned over Suffa.... he touched my elbow and smiled at me, I may possibly never wash again. This was my evening, this is my life.

Look, he is touching me, thats legit Yo!!!!

But really this has nothing to do with my Japan trip though, and now I have finished name dropping, swooning and have regained the ability to actually talk instead of make in-comprehensive clicks and garbles lets get back to the task at hand. JAPAN 4 DAYS, I AM ON IT 

To set the mood I will leave this here, play it as you are reading and it will put you in my head space... this is after all the final countdown

I have been making lists of what needs to happen before I go and slowly starting to tick things off, everyone asks if I am excited but I think I have been so busy that it hasnt really hit me that we are leaving in 4 short sleeps (short because this Nigga cant sleep). I think as an adult, people expect that you have it together and be organised.... ha!!!! fooled you world. Here are my guides and suggestions for fooling the world and hiding your "Holy Fuck I dont got this" face

Get your papers organised -  Bitches love paper so if it looks like it could possibly have something to do with your trip, photo copy it 3 times and give one to your mum. Because she didn't issue you forth into this world only to be left out of it now

Make Lists - This is a procrastinators best friend, by making a list you are doing something without really doing anything. Its a win win situation. Nice productivity team 

Join Government Web Site -  The government likes to know where you are incase you are going to die, visit www.smartraveller.wa.gov.au (yeah thats right only one T) for the 411. You can register your locations, where you are going and how they can contact you. I wouldnt suggest this if you are planning on drug trafficing though, the government doesn't need to know this (but I do? Possibly? Mates rates?)

Turn your Phone onto Roaming  -  Whilst being on the other side of the world might not be logistically doable for that Saturday night bootie call, its still nice to be thought of (and who knows you could set something up for your return). This will need to be done a few days before hand so that it has time to click over. I guess you don't have to take your phone, but I use my phone like a security blanket, I feel naked without it. And its cold in Japan, I don't want to be the Naked in Japan 

Get Travel Insurance - Cause you never know when you are going to get caught in a rain storm and your camera is going to die when you are flying out of the country (yeah fml). This also covers you for flights and possibly Zombie Invasions (N.B I am still confirming this). And lets face it, if you are up on the Spedastool with me, medical cover is a good idea.

Negotiate your Wardrobe -  Pack smarter, not er ummm heavier? As my mum always says Layer Layer Layer. You dont need a Gucci Dress and 10 pairs of sneakers for a three week trip to another country. Chances are you will never see these people again so it doesn't matter if you wear that same outfit 3 times in one week. Cause please children, life is not a fashion show. 

Advise your Bank -  There is a hawk that sits in my bank and looks at who is taking my money, the idea of the hawk eating my bank cards beacause I have transactions in Japan does not at all seem appealing. A tall heavily tattooed red headed women wouldn't do to well trying to beg in Japan, and lets face it I am saving my Kidneys for something important, Like a life time supply of red snakes and the whole back collection of my little ponies. Again Priorities people.

Get Some Entertainment - Without free access to Valium, its important to keep yourself occupied so you don't annoy everyone in your vicinity whilst travelling. Make sure all your technologies are fully charged, 17 hours is a long time to wait with empty batteries. Have a book ready to go and keep some candy on hand for bribing those shit head kids behind you to stop from kicking your seat. I was very lucky to have received this pack from Krystal, should keep me entertained for a while, it even has my name on it. Thanks Krystal you are amazing (P.S The Krystal in these posts is not for sale, she is mine so get your own)

With these fool proof Kerry Travel tips how can you fail. 

So whats left on my list I hear you ask? I guess the big one is PACK nakedness isnt what anyone wants to see. Also its time for tough decisions, with packing smarter not heavier I can only have one flannel, so which colour should I take? Will my Asian Twin be taking the same one? While Lassie finally meet the love of her life while saving Timmy from the mine?  

I guess we will have to wait for the next instalment to find out the outcome of these pressing questions 

Love and Hip Hops

Lets get Excited.... soon my pretties
