I'm Ruth, one half of 'Sophie and Ruth, UNICEF UK Young volunteers and AIDS 2008 Delegate Duo Extraordinaire' Catchy, no? Welcome to the test entry of this shiny blog.

Day Zero

I figure it's not day one as we don't leave for Mexico City, where for the next week and a bit the International AIDS Conference 2008 will be keeping us and about 25,000 other delegates busy, until tomorrow morning.

Tonight we just go down to London, as Sophie and I are from the lovely North of England, so we need a day to settle. She's East side (Whitby; fish and chips, Dracula, etc etc) and I'm West (Bolton; pasty barms, Peter Kay etc etc).

So far, so many packing dilemmas. I mean, can you ever really have too many pairs of wedge heels? A philosophical quandry that has kept many a great mind busy, I'll bet. It doesn't help much that I'm STUPIDLY excited.

Been reading the youth pre-conference programme this morning. That's the bit that fills the first 3 days which only lovely young things are let in to, no crumbly oldies for us thank you very much. It looks SO GOOD, positively rammed with relevancy to the stuff our groups at Unicef are working on. The first session has advocacy t-shirt swapping, and I've got 3 wicked samples to take along.

AHA. I think we've found the cause of this non-shutting suitcase problem. Three t-shirts are obviously thicker than you think...
