What's more, as the days glide on, you realise that you have brought many of the wrong things: three sensible cardigans when you could have done with one light stole; four bikinis, when the police will allow you to wear only a one-piece job; two bulky evening dresses, when everyone else dances in knife-slim silk trousers, And so on.
