| Carry on my wayward stuff, you'll be in pieces when I'm done stuffing you into my bag... Don't you cry no more! |
But I am experiencing some difficulties... We have committed to flying with carry-on luggage, which is admittedly easier (except for the packing part). However, after lovingly assembling my electronic devices, I have discovered that there is scant room for clothes.
Gotta have my laptop. Should I bring a tablet? Definitely need my cell phone. And my Kindle is a necessity. Noise cancelling headphones? I bought those specifically for air travel, so they're not staying home. I should bring my dud phone for gaming. Oh, don't forget chargers and cables for all those things. And the battery pack. And my camera! My camera is very important.
Oh yeah, and there's the pesky problems of Australia and New Zealand having different power systems (by the way, here's an interesting little write-up on that). To recharge all these babies, I have four power adapters, and one power converter/adapter. I am electronically prepared for everything except an EMP. And I don't really know what to do about that, anyway. Maybe a lead-lined case? Although that would be a bummer in a carry-on bag.
So... here we are. What do I do? My plan is to pack two identical outfits. I will tell Jacqueline that I really have seven identical outfits, and that I'm rotating them, but you and I will both know the terrible truth: that stench isn't actually coming from Australian seaweed (although that's the story that I'm going to be peddling to my guillible friend and travel partner). "Yes, I hear it's a local phemonenon - it's so stinky because of all the vegemite they flush into the sewers. It gets into the ocean, and voila. Wafts around a bit, doesn't it? (especially when I'm near you)." She will never know the truth! Hahahahaha!
What do you mean, leave the Cheez Whiz behind?!?!? That's crazy talk. What if I don't like Vegemite? I'll starve!
😱😱😱
Have a good trip
