On the Road

Preparing for a trip in the Old Days went something like this:

–Throw some clothes (usually too many) in a bag.
–Throw some books (usually too many) in another bag.
–Stop by the bank for cash.
–Be sure I have maps.
–Buy snacks and fizzy water for the trip.

Preparing for a trip in the N0w Days goes like this:

–Throw some clothes (usually too many) in a bag.
–Throw some books (usually too many) in another bag.
–Make sure every electrical device is charged. Electrical devices? How many of those could there be? Let me itemize:

• Two-in-one tablet/PC
• Phone
• Large camera
• Small camera

Yeah, that’s all.

Make sure I have connecting cords for all devices. And how many is that?

–Data cord for cameras
–Charger cord and charger for phone.
–Charger cord and charger for small camera battery.
–Extra battery (charged) for large camera.

–Stop by the bank for cash.
–Be sure I’ve either activated the GPS on my phone or printed out the GoogleMaps directions.
–Buy snacks and fizzy water if I’m driving. No sense in it if I’m flying.

Some clothes and some books – the important things haven’t changed.
