Monday, February 19

 Brogan Tates.  I stumbled across this name when I was browsing YouTube looking for something interesting to look at.  I can only take so much of Steve or Scott and their tedious trips in Europe and knew I had to look further afield.  Brogan is an enthusiastic, young English girl and was talking about a flight with her boyfriend on Emirates to Dubai.  I would normally click over to the next offering but Marilyn happened to be watching and wanted a closer look.  In fact, Brogan was quite entertaining and the flight to Dubai turned out to be the first leg of a trip to New Zealand where they are going a cruise back to the UK.

Later, we looked for more of her stuff and found a series where she talked about her plans to be married on the cruise, described her philosophy of packing, and so on.  This morning I notice she has posted a video of the flight from Dubai to Auckland.  We'll watch it later.

Yesterday, we suffered her showing the stuff she is packing for the trip.  She and her boyfriend were travelling with 6 suitcases and a wedding dress in a carry bag.  As travellers who never had more than a medium size 20Kg bag and a small carry-on, we were horrified with the stuff she thought essential: masses of gadgets, first aid stuff, board games, various metal and plastic clips, fold-up plastic boxes (to put your socks in on the cruise) .... it was ridiculous!  However, this girl has a massive following on Youtube and makes a very decent living at it.  

I think I'll get tired of her very quickly but we need to see how this trip (and the wedding) turn out.
