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.
My Packing Itenary
4 - 5 Days worth of clothes
1 Canon DVC Camcorder w/ Chargers, 1394 Cable, Charger and 10 DVC Cassettes
1 Kodak Digital Camera w/ Memory Card, 6 Double A Batteries and USB Cable
1 Dell Inspirion E1705 Laptop w/ 10/100 Lable (500 ft of it) just in canse the wireless card fails =), Charger
Personal Hygiene stuff
1 iRiver 30 GB Multi Codec Jukebox packed with music - Too lazy to move the music to my Laptop =)
All together between me and my sisters stuff we have one medium size luggage bag, laptop bag and the camcorder bag.
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 SP, because it’s smaller than the gameboy color and way smaller than the really old gameboy
-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)
-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.)
Got a ton of laundry finished, and some lists of stuff I need to remember made… but as far as packing. Well… the reality of empty suitcases should answer that one nicely. :ahh:
