Reading through the Saturday papers it was difficult to ignore the full page Kathmandu advertisement featuring 70% off merchandise. It’s the type of sale that impending travelers, on a budget, just cannot ignore.
Walking into the store to see an ocean of red sale stickers and 2-for-1 signs was pure therapy considering I’ve been resisting shopping urges for some 6 months. I moved methodically from stand to stand, accumulating goods until my laden arms ached. Fortunately JB was on my tail, so that whenever I picked up something and turned to seek his point of view on whether I should buy, he gave me the no-headshake.
Me: A microfibre towel? It packs up small, might come in handy?
JB: Nup, we got towels.
Me: Earplugs? Prue bought some when we were out a few weeks back and she reckons they’re GREAT for blocking out Gareth’s late loud television noise!?
JB: Nope, you sleep well enough without them.
Me: A cooler bag? Could be useful if we decide to carry any food with us?
JB: Not going to carry food.
Me: Hey look at this – a radio especially for traveling!
JB: (yawns and looks at the register) Can we go yet?
61 days to go.

Yes Garlic Bread has been AXED to avoid confusion…perhaps Prue, you could put your mind to other interpretations of JB… Jolly Bright? Jam Bun? Just Boring? Hmm…
