Crazy good purchase today: iPad 2. It will be so cool to have! Purchased online so I could get my email address engraved on it. It is only 1.5 pounds. I can do most things I use my laptop for plus take photos & videos with it & go wireless anywhere (most places I am staying have WIFI). I can video chat with people back home while I am gone as well. I will save my back & neck by not adding my laptop weight to my backpack. That is what is especially important.
Today I also got the last few small items I needed for my trip: an electric adapter kit. I needed 3 different adapters! Also picked up some non-toxic-to-humans bedbug spray---rids the mattresses of the bugs :-[
AND an inflatable neck pillow to help me sleep on planes & trains.
LESS THAN 2 MONTHS!
