Aside from the above, you need to bring anything you ordinarily bring to regionals. Also, money for MARTA.

so is this going to be the... "what im packing to atlanta" thread for the 2009 year?

first and foremost, pack your TOOTHBRUSH

Comfertable shoes for all the walking

As an adult who has spent years working with youth in Boy Scouts and FIRST, and on behalf of all other adults at the event: deodorant.

My advice?

Extra room in your suitcase, because I can guarantee you'll be coming home with more than you left with.

(My FIRST t-shirt collection can attest to that, it's nearing 80-90 different FIRST shirts!)

A camera! The Championship is an amazing place, especially if you've never been, so you may want to capture some of the great memories you're sure to get in pictures to show family, friends, etc.

Also, bring your enthusiasm! (though I'm sure that goes without saying) Atlanta is a terrific time to meet people from other teams, states, even countries. Get out there and talk to everyone you can- everybody has a story to tell.

High high. Shower daily, I don't care if you have "geek street cred" for it, it's stupid and pathetic if you can't take 10 minutes out of your day to get undressed, hop in, soap, shampoo, rinse, get out, towel, put clean clothes on. Do it*

Here's my list of what I'm brining. Your milage might varry a little...

-Phone (email, camera, calls, internet) w/ charger!
-iPod shuffle (music) w/charger!
-toiltries (deodorant, cologne, etc etc)
-assortment of clothes (pants to shorts, long button up to short tshirt), shoes (flip flops and tennis pretty much), underwear and socks
-magazines & assorted papers to entertain me when the batteries die
-all the important money, cards, & ID's
-MAYBE a laptop, still deciding if i want to bring that or not...



*For our lady friends, this takes longer, but I don't think I've ever met one who's skipped on showering, so that paragraph was for the guys out there.

I know I can... rather have one Vault than a six pack of Mt Dew.
