Getting close

Three days to go till I leave and I am already trying to remember what I am forgetting to take and pack and do.
Also thinking that the whole trip is a little too ambitious. Should have thought it out a little better especially since I am having trouble with my back spasming( I do think this is the right spelling). It does it frequently, we are old friends.
Find my expectations shifting. I am usually a more destination type traveller but I am finding myself thinking more about the journey itself.
Anyway will soon be off. Taking 2 pairs of bluejeans that I hope will be too big for me soon, 3 short sleeve summer shirts, 1 long sleeve shirt, 1 long sleeve golf type, 1 turtle neck, 2 pair of long type underwear 6 pairs of socks 3 pairs of underwear a Canada hockey jersey my jacket, light gloves, flipflops, pair of shorts, bathing suit and walking shoes.Sure seems like a lot so will have to make some cuts.Of course on top of all this are toiletries.
Took a 1000 dollars US cash in small bills so now I have about a 2 inch stack of money. ATMs not available everywhere. Lou has cleverly sewn pockets inside my bluejeans on the back pocket too conceal some of the money.
Lou is making her own plans and is probably looking at this as  her vacation. Lots of time to do her own things.Says she taking up knitting.
So have my first 2 nights booked at the K2 hotel in Bangkok and took directions with me in Thai for the taxi driver. I am arriving around 10 at night so it will be good to get to my hotel and crash after 20 some  hours of travel.
Leave Toronto on Tuesday 10 @noon to Tokyo. 3 hour layover then on to Bangkok.
