We have never been sooooo last minute. Pat bought his parka yesterday mainly to allay my worries. How could I not be ? The weather indicator has been sliding, causing me more alarm than the Asian currency crisis. The last thing I want is for Pat to be frozen in Munich. Arrival on a no-shopping Sunday is an issue especially when he is traveling just with a cashmere sweater and a waterproof outer coat. To say it is protection against the elements of -10C is stretching the sweater too far.

Top up H's phone card. Check.
The longer I wait for tonight's takeoff, the more things I stuff in my bag. This is looking more like a migration than a holiday. Can't wait for holiday to commence.
