I literally just finished packing. Clothes for 5 days, medical supplies (I had surgery yesterday morning and have to follow through with some medical procedures (soaking my feet)), hygiene products, two books, two iPods (2gb nano for better battery life, 40gb 4th gen for more music), headphones, one pin (1359 pin, to hold a flap in one of my bags back), 8 AA batteries (I take lots of pictures), and my camera.

I'm probably going to go put them in the car so tomorrow morning (at 4am) I don't have to worry about finding my bags around my house.

Um... I leave at 4AM and have not a single thing packed. Is that bad?

Don't worry about it. I leave in about a half hour and haven't packed yet. Of course it only takes me about 5 minutes to pack everything I need.

How often do you forget things? I forgot my tripod when we went to Chicago, and I paid dearly for it... I'll probably end up forgetting something significant. I'll even make a checklist and forget things on their sometimes.

this year we got to pack the vex robot in with the luggage...which then became overweight so I shuffled stuff around into another suitcase.

I'm travelling light this time, my laptop bag only has the laptop (an old Dell L400 that's pretty small), charger, wireless card, ipod and cable, digital camera and battery and SD-USB adapter, a couple usb drives, headphones, book, get lost on MARTA map, etc.

and plane tickets

edit: and gameboy (http://www.selectric.org/gameboy/assemblage.jpg) SP, because it's smaller than the gameboy color and way smaller than the really old gameboy

Depends on what time it is where you are. It's 1300 here, I leave at 0430 to go to the airport, and leave SFO at 0900.

Don't worry about it. I leave in about a half hour and haven't packed yet. Of course it only takes me about 5 minutes to pack everything I need.

I suggest you get on that....

Let's see...

-Clothes for all three days, plus spares
-One nicer-than-average change of clothes, if I've got space
-Toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver, shampoo, soap
-Ear plugs (you laugh, but they really help!)
-iPod (because eight hours driving round-trip without music is just....awful!)
-Aspirin (you never know...)
-Roll of duct tape (in case I have to make any more Fresca manpurses (http://billfredrevival.blogspot.com/2007/04/fresca-manpurse.html))
-Fresca (for outside the Dome only, of course)
-Camera (PowerShot A620, with the obligatory extra memory)
-Batteries (AAs, quantity As Many As I Can Find)
-iBook
-Safety glasses (because I've never been able to wear FIRST's comfortably)
-My Gracious Professionalism (if for no other reason than to awkwardly shout out "YES!!!" when I pass the sign)

Of course, I have to cram all of this into my suitcase first--none of it currently is packed. (And it'll have to wait until after the 10-page paper.)

Besides clothes and cleaning supplies (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) I've packed buttons (sorry Dave), a deck of cards, my math book and homework, a hairbrush, camera, snacks for the bus, chapstick, safety goggles, my two tickects for the CD web-hug raffle, an umbrella, a book to read, my cell phone, all of the papers that go with being a chaperone, and since I've read this thread, I've added a blanket and a pillow. I think I'm ready. I know I'll forget something. But I have until 12:30 p.m. tomorrow to try to remember it.

I see no reason to sleep on the floor.

Four 675 members were in the same room (all guys, it was myself, our drivetrain leader, our electrical guy, and our cook) with only two beds, so we just went two to a bed.

Nobody slept under the covers, and each person was on their own side of the bed. Besides, when you're asleep, it doesn't really matter.

Oh, and hotel floors are really comfortable.

Then I'll probably read CD or TBCS for half an hour then sleep -- I need the rest! D=

Due to the 15th being a Sunday and Monday being Emancipation Day in Washington D.C., the tax deadline has been pushed back (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=167194,00.html)to April 17th to just further encourage procrastinators like me. :yikes:
Good thing my state followed suit. (http://www.ct.gov/drs/cwp/view.asp?Q=331336&A=1436) I almost forgot about state taxes. :ahh:
I'll do them Monday night and mail/submit them online Tuesday.

And packed? HA!! One suitcase is, waiting on some laundry to finish to pack the other one and have to transfer some stuff from one laptop to the other to pack that.

I still have to shower as well, to get this pink/orange mess out of my hair I was testing hair color spray with. lol

Time till I get on a Bus: 4 hours.
Plenty of time. :cool: :cool: :cool:

I've decided to stay up for the next 5 hours until I get on the shuttle (I have all day tomorrow to sleep anyways, gonna be on a plane).

My mom decided to make me clean my room D=

It's a complete mess, too. Two regionals, two weeks apart each, plus championships soon makes me tired and putting energy into other, more important things.

Curse you, unclean room! D=

after being packed and ready to go... I managed to come down with food poisoning and just canceled my flight this morning.

This is my first one i've missed since 2004 :(

Hope everyone has a good time, I'll be rooting here while watching webcasts. Give everyone an extra hug for me at noon tomorrow!

I literally just finished packing. Clothes for 5 days, medical supplies (I had surgery yesterday morning and have to follow through with some medical procedures (soaking my feet)),
I just had the same thing happen to me!!!!
In fact, my toe is still numb because of the novocaine. We just got back to the hotel and my toes are cold! LOL
Be careful though with what shoes you wear in the pits, close toed but don't wear shoes that are too tight!
;)

I hope that those teams stuck up north are able to get down in time, though. It is very odd that it is snowing still this time of the year. IT'S APRIL! It is so weird! I just hope that everyone gets here safely, though because any problems like would not be cool!:(

I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow, though!

It it a little intense that I arrived tuesday night, but the rest of my team doesn't get here until about 9 tonight?:ahh: I have a reason though... came early to see Georgia Tech. That decision deadline is coming up!:eek:

I'm already set up with:
Dell 9300 Laptop
300 GB External HDD
30 GB iPod
Canon Digital Rebel XT
3 GB of Compact Flash Cards
8 packs of mini-DV tapes
Chargers!
Clothes (Not the most important stuff on my list...)

If it's not apparent, I'm the media dude. Unfortunately I used up my carry-ons, so our team's Canon GL-2 (my baby) is arriving with my team nonight. They're probably all getting through security right now... fun!
