We got into North Carolina on Independence Air after having to be de-iced on the tarmac in Washington Dulles.  Unfortunately, the de-icer got into the plane's exhaust and we had to go back to the gates for a while.  We finally made it in about 7pm last night (2 hours late), during an ice storm that blanketed everything but the roads in about an 1/8th inch of ice.  We've had enough ice for a while.  But we did get these pics...

 

 

After writing about trying to leave work behind, something funny happened tonight. We're staying with my cousin Bruce on our way to the coast and after pizza and a movie we went to bed.  What did we find in our guest room?  A wireless router.  So, here I am typing and Flickring away. Oh well.

Taking stuff with you
By: jhails on December 17, 2005 - 8:14pm
A few years ago after having gone on a couple of lengthy trips I decided to do the next one without a camera to see what effect not having to haul a bunch of photo gear around would have. At first it was liberating not having to fiddle with it or look after it but then I kind of regretted it cause I missed some great pictures and I wasn't able to share them. I ended up buying a bunch of those cheap disposable jobs to get me through. Maybe thats why you are drawn to it. In any cae you do need to let it go a bit. I wouldn't dream of taking a laptop when internet cafes are so "almost everywhere". I'd ditch it before you leave the states. It will become a boat anchor in more ways than one. Just my opinion mind you. Have a great trip
