Off to Hawaii
We are all packed and ready to head off to the airport on our way to Hawaii. We got the Wife’s cousin staying here to keep and eye on the house, and keep the pets fed. It should be a fun time, but a week is going to be a long time to be away from home. I like being at home.
It’s crazy the amount of technology two people need to take with them on vacation. We have:
- Camera
- 4 disposable water cameras for snorkeling
- Kodak Zi8 video camera
- Two laptops
- 4 iPods (The wife and I each have a touch for apps and internet and another one for music)
- 2 Blackberries
- My iPad
- Our GPS
- and a rented MiFi to share internet to all our devices
It’s going to be a long plane ride, but with my iPad and Audiobooks I have more than enough to keep me busy. In fact I really wouldn’t mind a longer flight. The Wife is another story. I am sure she will be bored out of her mind.
The thing I will probably miss is Twitter. I may find time to post from time to time, but I wont be able to read and keep up with it. Normally I keep up with my Twitter stream during my waking hours pretty easily. It’s going to bug me a bit not being on top of everything, and knowing what’s going on, but I guess that’s what a vacation is for; to get away from it all — or at least most — of it for a while.
My blog will probably be a little quiet for the week. I might use Posterous to post some pictures if I have time, but I plan on being pretty busy just having fun.
