The essentials I always forget
The art of packing seems to be beyond me. Here's a list of the things I should remember to always pack
It's a special talent I have. Somehow, I don't connect packing with putting things you actually need in your bag.
I'd like to know what exactly I'm doing when I pack. I have vague memories of counting socks, but then the images fade. I think perhaps I enter a kind of dreamlike state which only lifts when I find myself pulling alien things from my luggage in a foreign city. Here's a shortlist of the major things I didn't manage to pack for my recent trip to Reggio Emilio in Italy, and those which I did.
Forgot
- My Ipod
- A camera
- UK to European adaptor
- Multiway UK adaptor - for Apple, plus Vaio, plus...
- Any sunglasses at all (to e mediterranean country)
Remembered
- Two 1Kg books on XSLT and twenty assorted language reference guides
- A clockwork radio
- A bluetooth headset
- Three backup memory cards for camera which wasn't packed
- Scarf and Wooly hat (to e mediterranean country)
So on the evidence - outbursts in EU design meetings, inability to prepare for travel, I think I'm finally going mad. Hopefully this blog entry will help investigators to piece together the evidence when they find me naked, painted in honey and tied to a tree in Bogota.
