The Storm Before The Storm

So as I sit here frenetically attempting to close out about 50 work items before I call it vacation I have intermittently been trying to get ready. This includes:

• Finding all my dive camera gear and assuring that it still works (last year my camera was kaput and I had to buy a new one.. thankfully not this year)
• Finding all my dive gear that I will take (only regulator and mask to save space)
• Finding all my batteries and chargers… probably the biggest pain in the ass
• Putting together a first aid kit
• Getting all my toiletries and meds together
• Deciding on what book to read (other than my trusty lonely planet guide)
• Try to sell my boat (no go, dude wanted to undercut me badly)
• Decide what movies and TV shows I want to download for the plane (got to be M*A*S*H Season 1 – Welcome to Korea, but what else)
• Find some snacks for the plane
• Oh and I’ll probably need some clothes to wear
• And the all important but often forgotten passport, wallet, phone combo. (sorry G. I got my passport all sorted this time!)

So that leaves me with the following piles around the house

So with a bit of anxiety setting in I dash off to my last meeting before my vacation truly begins. More tomorrow from the plane!
