Packing my bag for PASS Summit 2009

Flying out on Monday, and I’m so excited.  Here’s the stuff I’m throwing in my bag (as if any of you care).

  1. My Archos 5 IMT – 6+ hours and an extended battery.  Gotta load it up with all of the TV shows I’ve missed over the last few months on my SageTV rig.  Since I can’t find my boosteroo audio amp, I’ll need to go see if I can get a good set of headphones for the plane.
  2. Pad and pens.
  3. My laptop computer, complete with the Nokia softphone software.  I’ll still have to touch base with the office occasionally, and this way I can have portable VOIP.
  4. I’m writing a review for The Art of Unit Testing for the AtlantaMDF Reviews site.  Need to pack the book for the plane.
  5. Airborne Vitamin C.  I know it’s not likely to prevent germs, but boosting my vitamin C intake before I travel is almost a superstitious rite for me.
  6. My #sqlbingo cards and tag.
  7. My PASS Summit itinerary;  I was going to load it into Outlook, but I remember that the last time I did that, everything got screwed up because of the time change. 
  8. My phone, and an extra battery (for all of the twittering I plan on doing).
  9. Business cards.

And I still gotta pack clothing and essentials.  I’m hoping I can do it all with the carryon+laptop limitation, particularly since I have a layover on my way back.
