    Only a few more weeks before we head off to Procida, just off the coast of Naples near its more famous neighbour Ischia. Can’t wait. We went a few years ago and loved it. Good food, amazing beaches and loads of charm.

    Just listened to a bloke playing Wise Men Say on a saxophone at our hotel - didn't even come close to how good it sounded at Wembley. Although I think a bit of dust got into my eye!

    The cases have showed up in the spare bedroom, I am in for 5 days worth of "when are you going to pack your case"
    When it comes to packing cases my wife turns temporarily insane for a few days, starts packing then unpacks several times to make sure certain things were packed.
    It takes me less than 5 mins, 4 or 5 pairs of swimming shorts, 7 or 8 t-shirts or vests for during the day, 7 or 8 clean t-shirts / shirts for the night time, 3 or 4 pairs of shorts for the night time. Pool flip flops, trainers and a cap for my baldy bonce. We have had the same dance for the last 25 years, love her to bits but holiday packing turns her into an aggressive lunatic for several days.
    Anyway almost time for the off, Hisaronu here we come......never been before, looking forward to some turkish bait and may indulge in a few boat trips as they reckon Olu Deniz is nice

    Off to Turkey in August, looking at average temperatures I had better remember my hat, also ordered a translation book, no doubt at all will try to order 2 beers and be served a goat with olives!

    I think that it’s a genetic thing, found only in those with XX chromosomes as Mrs K is exactly the same.

    My wife’s the same, when we go to Chile she insists on taking presents for all the family and friends. The suitcases appear at least a week before the day of the flight. It’s funny to watch her try and squeeze them all in between the few bits of clothing.
    I’m lucky if I get half a cabin case for my stuff, which is minimal as we stay with her folks and can wash our clothes if needed.
    I can pack my stuff in about 5-10 minutes but the people on the security scanners must think we’re opening a sweet shop <laugh>

    I feel your pain mate, she tips up with enough sandwiches and crisps to feed the entire plane, I used to argue with her that we really didnt need to take that many sandwiches or snacks until we got delayed one year and she hasnt let me forget it.
