What are you packing for Atlanta?

[Billfred]

Alright, so talking with a friend of mine, it became painfully obvious that she and I had different packing methods for Atlanta.

So, what are you packing for Atlanta? Here's my list:

Three T-shirts (all FIRST, naturally--exact ones TBD)
Pants to match
Three pairs of underwear
Three pairs of socks
Shoes (which I'd be wearing)
Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, deodorant
Shaver
Laptop
iPod

(Note that I'm driving in Wednesday and driving back Saturday--hence I'm only packing to have fresh clothes Thursday-Saturday)

[MissInformation]

Shirts, jeans, shoes, underwear, socks, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, Act rinse, shampoo and conditioner (can't stand hotel stuff), soap, moisturizing lotion, sunblock, meds (motrin, sudafed, etc.), pillow for bus, snacks for bus, a book or two, camera, batteries and charger, cell phone and charger, Dave says 'That's Pimp too!' buttons, games: Give Me the Brain, Lord of the Fries and Killer Bunnies, license, credit card, cash, brush, scrunchy, deodorant, and this weird little thing that's a cross between a hair dryer and a curling brush so that my bangs don't stick up in the air.

I think that covers it. It sounds like a lot, but it it isn't really, it all fits into a small suitcase and a backpack (well, with the addition of Killer Bunnies and the snacks for the bus, I may have to have two backpacks).

[Daniel Brim]

Clothes: Team shirts, extra shirt for Sunday, Boxers, socks, jeans
Hygene: Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, shaver (if there is room, not all that critical)
Other: Cards, food, gameboy (if room, not very critical), homework (AP tests start one week after championships :ahh: )

Oh yeah, I have to fit everything in a carry-on so I don't miss the webhug. Our team gets in ATL at 10:45 AM and George (DCA_Fan) and I are going to go straight to MARTA and hope we make it. Hopefully there will be no delays. Can you believe they are routing us through Minneapolis to get from California to Georgia?

See everybody there (if I ever survive our ultra-red-eye).

neon green speedo to distract team 237's auto mode

...I won't ask. :ahh:

[NeedMoreEngines]

hehe...I thought you meant what equipment are we packing.
Anyways, I'm bringing a set of clothes for each day, but there's a problem. I only have one team shirt and I usually wear another shirt underneath it so it doesnt get sweaty and gross. I'm worried it'll be too hot in the dome or I'll spill ketchup on it or something.
Other than that i'm bringing the usual toiletries, my video and still cameras, tripod, sneakers, sweatshirt, maybe a hat, sunglasses, stuff to keep busy on the plane.

Good luck & see you there

team board shorts
a random shirt and 2 pairs of jeans

No Green spray?

[Dorienne]

On second thought, I need to add something.

I may bring some orange spray =P It'd be a good idea, and Jamie I know will want to use some of it. So it's definitely an option. Daddy and I are heading to K-Mart to figure out what we need. w00t!

[Daniel Brim]

No Green spray?
Chartreuse is greenish (it is sort of a yellow green). Whenever I put spray in my hair, it always flakes and it looks like I have really bad dandruff (not to mention that I have really thick hair - I tried to spike it in 2003 for SoCal but it didn't really stay).

Can you believe they are routing us through Minneapolis to get from California to Georgia?

-Daniel
Yes, I can believe it. The airlines usually like to take you way out of the way--Chicago, for instance. Our team somehow received the only sensible routing that I've heard of from LAX to ATL (other than non-stop). We have a half-hour stop in Dallas-Ft. Worth. It appears to be about 100 miles south of the shortest direct route (following a great circle).

Hey, everyone who's flying, maybe I didn't look closely enough, but I haven't seen listed the ONE THING that you need to get on your plane: Photo ID. (And get your boarding pass in the airport if you can't get it online the night before.)
