Well im spending the day at KL airport (currently sitting in a forgotten corner next to a powerpoint), that was the most stressful airport check in experience of my life. :) i got to perth and my luggage (including guitar) was 32 kg so i had to completely repack. i ended up changing from my suitcase to my rucksack after all (i was prepared). and ive got to say that 20kg is absolutely nothing at all! Well in the end the check in lady upgraded me to business class because of all the trouble....which meant that i could actually get some sleep on the plane.

highlight of the repacking experience....for the record...was mum shouting across the airport terminal for all to hear, "stuff you underpants inside your jacket pockets Darren, it'll save weight", whilst grabbin handfulls of boxershorts and shoving them into my jacket for me when im facing the other way. great tact mum. real subtle. way to remove any pride from my person...its ok i love you still.
