Bring home only memories, leave only footprints

At last I have a tent I can use and my passport has been returned from the Visa company. Unfortunately the Pakistani Visa has not been granted. I have been assured however, that everyone on this trip is the same position and that we will need to apply for visas at the point of entry to Pakistan. That part of the journey could be interesting! I'll let you know what happens when I get there!
There are a few jobs to do before saying goodbye. I have just altered the message on the answer phone so that callers will know who to contact over the next few months. (The message definitely states that any recordings wont be responded to, but I bet some people will leave messages anyway). I have also cleared my emails to that all the mail-boxes are as empty as possible. Tomorrow it will be last minute shopping for odds and ends like wet wipes and calamine lotion.
Tonight I will have to try to pack my bags. Then another day nearer the journey!
One lovely person told me that I should seek to "Bring home only memories, leave only footprints." Not bad advice I think!
