Packing tech on vacation
Over the years I’ve put together a pretty good system for packing before a vacation. Counting days and pairs of socks so that I can get through the trip — pretty standard stuff. Packing that suitcase hasn’t changed a lot for me in the last 20 years.
But as I pack to go on a week-long trip with my family next week, it struck me: I may be a whiz at packing clothes and bathroom supplies, but I am a huge ball of stress when it comes to packing my technology. What gadgets are in my bag — and what’s loaded on those gadgets — is the thing that consumes me in the days before I take a big trip.
