Are we too dependent on technology? Yes. I was doing my packing today, and this is what it was like. Ok, carry on bag. I need my net book, personal media player, mp3 player, Nintendo DS (x2), diving camera, regular camera, and last but not least, ebook reader. Oh, I also should put my passport, some cash, and reservation papers in there, if there is room. For my checked bag...eh, not so important. I spent hours organizing my gadgetry, making sure everything was fully updated and loaded with whatever they needed to be loaded with. Compare that to the five seconds I spent throwing my clothes and things in the other bag. Where are my priorities!?

On that note, I gotta start going to bed, my flight leaves at 9am. That means I should be on the bus near 6:00am to be on the safe side. Not a pleasant time of day, but the good point is that I am going to have a solid vacation afterward. I still don't know what the plan is, but the basic idea is a few days on Koh Phangan staying in Mai Pen Rai Bungalows at Than Sadet beach, which is a nice and quiet part of the island. From there, we are probably going to head to Sihanoukville Cambodia, but I haven't exactly figured that part out yet.

Finally, since I'm going to be traveling around for the next three weeks, updates here will be sparse, if not nonexistant. Don't worry, though, between the two cameras and my crazy drunken antics, I am sure to have a lot to say when I get back. Have a good February, and don't be too cold!
