Migrating bird

Yes, me and the other migrating birds are going to warmer climates. Maybe they don't have to spend the night before leaving panicking about the luggage and the weight of said luggage. In fact what do they bring and how do they feed themselves in flight? I know I will be constantly fed on my flight, even to the point of gagging, but what do they do? I am hoping to hear from one of my bird spotter friends on this matter. And since I am on the subject of universal questions I would also like to know how they find their way.

Packing problems

When I first came to Sydney I got lost all the time. To the point that I very nearly had to take a motel room one day when I had been to IKEA. My elderly mother was with me and it started to get dark and I don't like driving in the dark. Well, anyway, a wonderful kind man in the gas station where we had to make a pit stop took pity on me and drove in front of us to the road we had to take. After that I got a SatNav from our son, bless him, and I use it all the time, even for the smallest excursion.

I am not looking forward to the actual flight and I am debating if I should take a sleeping pill or not. At the same time I love catching up on movies etc. Please don't let this put you off, dear friends, if you were thinking of coming to visit us. It really is not that bad, I just like to whinge.

Lao Tsu says; "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving". I think that definitely makes me a bad traveler. We arrive in France on Friday, spend the weekend there, and drive up to Sweden on Tuesday, that is what I call a plan. However his concept of traveling sounds pretty cool.

Until next time, so long!
