this will be the most cybernetic trip we've ever done... organized via skype/ google chat/ google groups (so much google.... hm... should we worry about that?) and now recording our daily adventures in this blog...
catiusca is already on the plane... our london girls (in the end there are 2 but ana will only do the hk-beijing part) will do the same tonight... for 2 days I will be the only chinuca still on european soil...
they are all leaving without having detailed the exact items in their luggage in our group tool... I only know, from carpioma's post, that she seems not to want to do any hand washing... I am planning to follow my very good friend's (again another maria, was maria a common name in the 70s in spain?) advice and have already written down an extensive list with every item I need to take along with me... friday night I plan to put in the suitcase what is in the list without losing any time thinking 'and what about also taking this additional pair of shoes'... it should reduce the packing time from my average 3h (and please, this is not because I pack too many things but because I have this need to achieve perfection in packing, the exact number of items, not more no less) to 1h I hope

today paris was grey and polluted, I guess beijing will be more of the same

we are writing in english to reach a more extensive audience but we should perhaps add spanish paragraphs for our beloved one generation ahead family

good flight to the ones just boarding and to the one in the sky!
