Less than 24 hours to go and things are a little crazy. Yesterday Sam realised the pelican cases for our gear were going not going to work - a case full of gear clocks in at about 15kg OVER the maximum limit allowed on a plane so we had to come up with a Plan B very quickly. This involved Mickey and Sam running around all over campus begging, stealing and borrowing cases from anyone. The office ladies were kind enough to stop in to say goodbye and had a good chuckle at the circus that is our lab.
Several hours and lots of coffee later it's slowly taking shape. We have 30 pieces of luggage weighing 320kgs in total!! Becky has spent the morning on the phone to the airlines warning them and trying to and organise sending some stuff as cargo etc. I'm in a slight panic that our stuff won't get there at all but I think positive thinking is key right now :) We're going to Nepal people, science equipment in tow or not, it's so exciting!!
