The Joy of Packing

For the past 2 hours I have been packing. This time I was smart and made a list of the things that I need to take, I always end up forgetting something! So hopefully this time I won’t. Packing for this trip is a lot different from CES. For CES I pack all dress clothes except for 1 or 2 pairs of regular clothes. I’m packing all regular clothes so it’s a lot more to pack.

If you notice there are no big suitcases in the above picture. I use a carry-on suitcase and a laptop / camera bag. I try to always carry on, I don’t want to have to deal with the airline losing my luggage. It will be my first time getting some good use out of the Lowepro CompuDaypack. It is designed to hold both a laptop and D-SLR camera. Hopefully I can fit all of my stuff in there, it is only designed for small day and weekend trips.

For entertainment on the flight I have my laptop, DS Lite, iPod, a magazine, and a book to read, although the flight time is not that long. We fly from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, which will be about an hour. Then we have about a 40 minute wait till our flight from Philadelphia into Tampa. That flight we will about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I always try to pack things to do because I hate being bored. I will probably end up writing reviews on most of the flight.

Our flight leaves at 5:45AM so I probably will just stay up, too excited to sleep! If I have time I will make a post from the airport on their free WiFi.

    Short flights so you won’t even really notice as time flies by. Enjoy your trip!

    Man our airports don’t let you carry on anything liquid or gel. It sucks having to check your bags, but you really can’t travel without toothpaste, cologne, or anything.

    I hope you have lots of fun in Florida :) When I’m flying I read a bit or stare out of the window, Google Earth in realtime :lol:
