I have to catch a flight in a few hours to Newark, then Frankfurt and Madrid. I still haven't finished packing. And then I have to go pick up my passport to the German Consulate, because although I am a permanent resident, as an ecuadorian I am a second class citizen to European countries. I have to get a visa. I had totally forgotten about picking it up. Thank God I checked... I already packed my clothes, but still need to pack all my gadgets. I didn't realize they were so many... This digital era is complicated! We are going to drive, so we need a GPS. Also my father and brothers, and specially one of them, need to be connected all the time, so I had to get one of those usb sticks, a personal hotspot, unblocked phones to get SIM cards, etc. Also I will take my Kindle (which I only use and enjoy when I am in an airplane), ipod, camera, SD cards, card readers, adapters, and cables, and cables, and cables.
The truth is I need to be connected all the time too.. need to make wire transfers and call payroll and stuff. In small companies you do it all.
And it's the first time in at least a decade that I travel without a Mac (Powerbook, then Macbook). I find that even the 13 inch is heavy.. So I got one of those cheap and nice Asus Eees. I first learned of them from one of my brothers. I am kind of mad at Apple because they haven't made netbooks yet, and the Macbook Air is way too expensive.
Well now off to try to catch my flight. I have a bad record of losing them... Twice because I went to the Continental Presidents Club... and forgot to check the time... so I haven't set foot on one of them since.
