It is hard to really peg down what it feels like to be leaving today. I have been planning this trip for over a year now but the reality of my leaving hasn't really sunk in, I hope that it will as I start to physically leave for the airport, say goodbye to my family and so on. On the plane, I have decided to bring the following:
My camera
Laptop
iPod
Journal
2 issues of Geez magazine
Several letters that have been given to me by dear friends and told to open on the plane or upon arrival in France
Contest:
I am interested in any suggestions you might have for things to bring in addition to these, I have some room in my carry on. If you think of anything, post a comment to this blog and I will see if I can get them in the next couple of hours before I leave. I will consider all suggestions and the winner(s) will receive a postcard as soon as I can find a place that sells them when I arrive. So in that case you should also post your address in addition to the comment.
Additional Criteria:
Must fit inside the carry on bag
Must not result in me getting arrested or harassed by airport security
Must be something that I can realistically acquire either on my way to the airport or at the airport before I leave.
Good luck to all contestants!
All for now, the next time I post I will be in France!

A crossword/wordsearch/sudoku book. It is great for just having with you in your bag in case you are ever stuck somewhere. Along the same lines, a "minute mystery" book which is a book that has short who dunnits in it for you to solve. I don't know how easy that would be to find, however. Also, a small blanket. Airplanes can get cold, and they don't always prove blankets. They keep you warm, can serve as emergency clothing, and make good pillows for waiting in airports. Think the Mississippi blankets a bunch of us bought on the way home. Anyways, best of luck on the trip. I know you are going to have a FABULOUS time.

I've got one that is easy...that you should have, seeing as i gave it to you on Saturday. How about a container of Doug's Honey lip balm? You don't want your little lips to get cracked on that dry plane.
I would hope that you know my address...seeing as it was yours for a while.

Peace, love and happy flight.
Ok, so I know I'm a little late but I think I deserve a post card for giving you the lock, and SIM card (even if it didn't work) to put in your carry on!
Miss you buddy!
