Hello, boredom, my old friend

Aaaaand now we're back to no hand luggage out of the US.

Cripes. To paraphrase [livejournal.com profile] lasayla, Hell is an eight hour flight with nothing to read but your boarding pass.

Dear [livejournal.com profile] av_lad, you better be at least as amusing as the in-flight entertainment. I'm just sayin'. (I, myself, am infinitely amusing. He has no worries on that front.)

I have so much to do before we leave, I'm not even thinking about it right now.

I have to agree, though, that this news was JUST what I needed to hear 1st thing in the morning yesterday. *NOT*

If things don't loosen up by next week, I don;t know how I'm going to pack everything. I was *really* counting on those extra 3 cubic feet of carry-on space. Plus, I *hate* checking my camera and laptop. BAD experiences.

As for traveling well together, THANK YOU! I agree 100%.

Don't bother with the laptop. I'll have two at the con, you can use one of those when I'm not. And there are plenty of computers at home.

The laptop is mainly for digital photo storage. (I'm a data hound)

I need to just see what happens over the next few days. I'm really more worried about packing the camera. The laptop is pretty sturdy (and it's the office's)

And, I'm perfectly aware that there are more important issues affecting people's travel than the inconvenience of having to pack electronics in hold luggage. ([livejournal.com profile] glinda_w for instance. I'm glad things are working out better for her.)

I'm lucky enough to be in a position where the worst problems I have to deal with related to air travel right now *are* convenience issues.

Oh, god, I know! It's just inconvenience.

I'm discovering what's really keeping me off balance is NOT KNOWING. It won't be until practically the last moment that I know exactly what I can and can't do.

I can make plans but I can't DO anything.

Dammit.

It's my take-charge gene running around in circles like a chicken with its head cut off.

Hmmmm. I still have the Sith Academy Emergency Back-Up Chicken of Doom somewhere....

No! I have no room for it. Really.
