Preparing for Europe

"He who would travel happily must travel lightly"
I am trying to obey Antoine de Saint-Exupery's words and travel light. I am nearly all packed and almost organised and ready to go. Just those last minute camera disks, etc to finalise. I am bit worried about the Libyan situation and hope it doesn't impact upon our flight or in Europe. A certain person at work (you know who you are!) said to me three weeks ago "The Libyan thing might affect you" and I was like "No way - we're miles from it" but now it is looking all too close watching the missiles this morning.
And how weird is it with Japan and the nuclear emergency - the first time I went to Europe in 1986 I got Chernobyled. First you couldn't eat salad then veggies began going off the menu then lamb then fish then all sorts of meat. I am hoping this won't happen this time - being gluten and dairy free already - my choices are already diminshed. It is to be hoped that things in Japan come under control soon.
