definitely last - 11:25 PM
(filed under 'bahrain')
i've decided to pack up my computer tonight after all. i'm lying in bed wide awake, wondering if i'll end up rushing too much in the morning, so i may as well do it now & not have that worry.
so goodnight, all, & i'll talk to you from thailand during the next week, or from australia after that. *waves goodbye!* 
possibly last post from bahrain - 10:49 PM

well, tonight's the night. the last night, that is. one more sleep, & tomorrow morning at about 9:30 (in bahraini time that would be about 10:30 .. heh) all our boxes will be picked up, then in the afternoon we leave for thailand for our short family holiday.
after our boxes are collected & while we wait until it's time to leave for the airport, we'll try desperately to find a way to amuse smiley which doesn't involve our computers or his toys, which will be merrily on their way to australia. i might just leave out one or two of his favourite dvds if worse comes to worst. we could always walk down to the british club for a swim, too. that's always a winner.
i'm still trying to decide if i'll pack my computer tonight or in the morning. i'm so tired right now that i'm thinking morning will be a better option, even if i will have to rush a little. if i do it tonight (when i'm so tired that i can barely type) i might drop something or get lazy & not pack it as well as i might if i've had a half decent sleep.
besides, if i pack it tonight, the pick up will undoubtedly be delayed for hours & i'll be wishing i'd left it out so that i could at least check email or perhaps so that smiley could play peppa pig.
so in case i don't get to say anything in the morning, bye all & i'll see you back in oz! i might be able to check email while i'm in thailand, so feel free to say hello & if i don't get a chance, then i'll have lots of nice email for when i'm back & settled in australia. seeya soon, everyone!
almost there - 11:32 AM

i have one last box that's not quite full & is still open so that i can put in a few last minute things. the very last box, though, will be smiley's big silver toy chest. most of the toys & books that were in there i've packed into other boxes, so whatever is left, i'll throw in there & then wrap the whole thing up in bubble wrap & corrugated cardboard. then that'll be everything!
about twenty-four hours to go until our boxes are picked up (don't know what time yet, shroom will let me know when he knows) & about thirty hours until we go to the airport to head to thailand for five days.
very exciting, indeed.
