Crumpled Notebook

So, I’ve decided I don’t want to be lugging a lot of luggage on my trip to NY. Sure, I can store it in a locker at the hostel, but to be honest, I don’t even want to deal with it, or deal with the fact that it could get stolen.

So here is my plan. I’m taking one single backpack. That’s it. Just one. I figure I can take a couple changes of clothes. Hopefully do laundry before I leave Seattle and if I have to wear something twice in NY, so be it. Besides, I’ll probably buy a shirt or something somewhere.

I’m also not taking my laptop gasp! Yep. I don’t want to lug that thing around either, especially in the city, and I sure don’t want to leave it in my room. But I think with the Blackberry, I’ll be fine. Access to email and facebook should tide me over. It’s not like I’ll be sitting around twiddling my thumbs anyway. As for getting pictures off my memory card (which is normally a big use of my laptop), I’m just gonna buy another 2-4 GB card, so I can change out cards. So here it is, my packing list:

• Backpack
• 2 changes of clothes (well, minus undies…they get full week change), 1 pair shoes
• hairbrush, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, make-up
• blackberry and charger
• camera (not taking the video camera), memory cards and battery charger
• towel (if it fits okay…otherwise I’ll buy one in NY and dispose of it there too)

That’s all I can come up with. Might of forgotten something, but that’ll just barely even fill my backpack, so I’ll be good.
