Spring Break

Ah…I feel more relaxed just thinking about it.

Matt and I will be taking off for spring break soon. First we’ll travel to Big Bend for a few days of camping, and then we’ll head to Marfa, TX. At the end of the week, Matt will head to Austin for South by Southwest, and I’ll be traveling to New York City for a little consulting.

My goal is to have all my work done before I leave, so I don’t have a modicum of responsibility or stress. I’ll also need to get ready for the trip.

What has to get done? Let’s see:

1. Get books on CD for the many hours of driving ahead of us (from the library).
2. Get some real books to read (from the library).
3. Find a magnetic travel Scrabble game. These are impossible to find. I may need to borrow my friend’s version again. Argh.

In terms of my packing list:

• iPhone for pictures and videos
• CamelBak
• Hiking boots
• Tent
• Sleeping bag
• Hoss
• Hoss’s food
• Hoss’s bowls
• Hoss’s backpack
• Water bottle
• Sunscreen
