Counting Down to China

[kevin_standlee]

I'm trying to go through my things and try to figure out how to pack for the trip to China, which starts two weeks from Saturday. It's just as well that I'm not taking any of my computer gear, because I think I'm going to need to empty my computer bag to carry clothes, as there is other stuff like the small WSFS banner and small tripod that I need for the Business Meeting that is crowding out space in my large checked bag. And there are things that I am sure I brought home from Winnipeg with me that should go with me to Chengdu but that I cannot yet find. I hope Lisa is able to figure out where they are, because I sure can't.

In the meantime, to try and distract myself from some of those things, and to sort of celebrate the ongoing success of my chiropractic treatments, I've been spending a short time each evening this week clearing brush from the East Lot. While we were away in Canada, the weeds in that lot started advancing toward the fence separating the two lots again, as the plants took advantage of the summer growth season. The brush pile is larger than it has ever been, but it will be quite a while before we can do another brush burn.

The bag with clothes and sundries should be lighter with than the computer gear. Here's to finding and packing everything you want and will need. And to not being too stiff and sore when you get to Chengdu.

Exactly. My computer bag, when fully loaded, is very heavy. But the same bag with just clothes and stuff that I normally put in my checked bag will be much easier to handle. Also, I won't have to unload it when going through Terrorization.
