Well, I dislike flying. I've never watched DVDs on a plane before so I'm hoping that will help. And our Hotel is way the fuck on the edge of Houston and I won't have a car, so I'll pro'lly need the iBook to amuse me in the hotel too.

Pro'lly won't need the cellphone, except in case plans change. Camera is in case I see Dana....

Have fun, Tommyrot.

Thanks. When are you leaving? Chicago is the first on your itinerary, right? Or are you going right back to LA from Chicago?

I leave Friday for Denver, then Chicago, then Ohio, then fly out of Chicago again.

Oh, I checked my hotel:

Voice mail and data ports in all guest rooms.

Wtf is a data port? Does this mean a regular network connection? Or a phone line for a modem?

I'm in the midst of packing for my departure to Toronto in the morning. There's a lot of folks travelling.

What am I forgetting, you guys?!

A data port is a separate line for a modem. What hotel are you staying at? Most major chains have at least hi-speed in some of the rooms.

Saget? Don't forget to pack him.

All your hair products?

What am I forgetting, you guys?!

Sunblock? Insect repellent? Feminine hygiene products (if necessary)? Medications?

What hotel are you staying at?

Red Roof Inn. The data port is in the list of standard amenities (for the chain). The web page of the specific motel makes no mention of anything else.

Lame.

(Although I realize RRI is a cheapie chain.)
