Last minute

International travel for the rest of the month, I am sure I am going to forget something.  T tells me that I always say this to him on the way to the airport. ;-)

Reedrover recently reminded me of the many technology-related things we now do before travel.  Like:
* Set out of office on my primary email
* Set my mobile voice-mail to out of range
* Call my credit cards and tell them of my travel plans, so they will not reject any strange expenses
* Pre-pay the likely household bills
* Make a list of all likely bills, how much I have pre-paid or autopaid, print out and leave for husband.  The understanding is that he can now recognize unanticipated (or underpaid) bills and pay them. 

Three weeks.  At least. 

I broke the "at least" part to T yesterday.  He looked appalled.  *sigh*  Again, good for our financial stability, but challenging for packing and marital happiness. 

I have packed many travel Woolite packets and a headset in case I end up Skyping in a public place... 

Packed up.

Did you unsubscribe to all of your junkmail lists so that you don't have a zillion e-mails that don't mean anything while you are gone?

You might want to invest in some granola bars and *real* fruit bars from Trader Joe's to keep your gut happy and balanced.

Alas, we don't have Trader Joe's in Austin. A serious oversight, that I hope will soon be set right. :-P

There is a rumor that they will never open a store in the hometown of Whole Foods. But there are only two Whole Foodses here and like six in Phoenix and they have Trader Joe'ses in Phoenix.

So I suggested that the new store they're building in the old airport be a Trader Joe's. I explained that it was the perfect store to attract both the rich yuppies in the new neighborhood and those in my much more affordable neighborhood.

I bought an entire box of Larabars on my last big grocery run. Packed the whole thing. Plus some extras. I have enough for at least one a day. Yeah, even mild food poisoning could be a problem. If I end up someplace really food-weird I won't starve. I may lose some weight... *rueful memory of the week in India I ate only food bars and lost 5 lbs*
