The departure for our third trip to Buenos Aires is getting closer and I'm having a hard time containing my excitement. This time we plan to visit an Estancia outside of BA - either Las Viboras or Santa Rita - and ski / snowboard (if my hip holds) in Las Leñas in the Andes. We are also looking at visits to El Tigre, Santiago and Rio de Janeiro.
The packing for trips these days is very simple. Anything that fits into my 22-inch roller will get to visit new parts of the world. Anything that doesn't, gets to stay home. I don't differentiate between home and away anymore.
Away is just another home so I try to pick the key things I really need to survive: shirts, slacks, trainers, toiletry, laptop, iPod, different cords, bluetooth VoIP-phone, AV-cable and the digital camera. As you can see, it's all about staying cool, comfortable and connected.
I realize that my approach is very unorthodox since I don't try to hedge my packing for any and all anticipated occasions. I just believe that a clean shirt, a pair of comfortable shoes and a book to read when you get stranded, will get you far. At least you have something interesting to talk about, right.
Therefore we are spending our last days in San Francisco enjoying the weather and not thinking about packing or overplanning. It should take about 15-20 minutes Tuesday morning, right before the cab arrives. That's what I call first class travel.
