Pack your bags!! Deutschland or Bust!! Day 1: Packing

[equilution]

...so, in the spirit of the Preacher's wonderful journey, I thought I'd take you along as I make my way back to my birth-country....beautiful Munich, Germany, in the shadows of the Alps!! It's been 35 years since I last breathed that clean, crisp air.

I'm in the preparation phase right now. You'd think with more than 2 million miles under my belt, I'd be a little better packer!! First and foremost, though, I've got all my camera gear! I guess maybe some toothpaste and deodorant, too, if I can fit it in.

Let me know if I forgot anything! Headphones to keep out the annoying propaganda of an international flight, power adapter, hat to keep from blinding the Europeans with my shaved head, my new James Bond Quantum of Solace sunglasses (Harris.......Jim..Harris ), Swiss watch to impress the Europeans while not blinding them, passport, International Blackberry, and some good reading material.
Oh...and breath mints so as not to offend my hosts when they pick me up!


Clothes. I spared you the detail so I censored my delicates!! uh hmmmm (blush)


My gear!! Can't wait to see the Alps!!


Tally ho!! I'm traveling tomorrow, so next installment may not be until I get to my hotel in 2 days.

See you on the other side!!

Oh, this is going to be fun! Thanks for sharing the little details of packing, something I'd never think to take a photo of. I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time, and I can hardly wait to see more photos! I wish you a fun adventure and a safe return home.

Oh my I am green with envy over your equipment. Look forward to your photos.. This was a fun set.

Have a great trip. I look forward to seeing your photos. Good to see your camera gear is taking priority - are you sure you don't need a few more clothes? - it's going to be cold - (but then I never learnt to pack lightly!)
Have a good trip!

Ohhh this will be fun. Have a safe trip Jim and keep us posted.
I've wanted to see Germany since my parents went without me when I was 15... (They don't take pictures)... Looking forward to seeing the sights.

Bon voyage, safe journey, and happy trails, see you when you arrive Jim
ps, I know you have the breath mints, but don't forget your toothbrush

[Chewys Dad]

Have a Safe Trip Jim and Chewy and I will be looking forward to seeing your next installment! I'm not sure you have enough lenses and I don't see a tripod in that mix either!!!!!
Thanks for sharing
Michael
