packing (for carly)

packing.  i start to make a mental list about a week out, but i never actually pack anything until the day before.  sydney was an exception.  i started about two days before, maybe three.  i was worried about weight restrictions and bringing on all my camera gear in a suitcase.  clothes, my general philosophy is to bring basics with a little bit of variety just in case - one fancy outfit, maybe a bathing suit.  for sydney i was so worried about being able to have enough space for all the equipment and prints for the show, and mostly didn't worry about anything else.  i always end up with heavy carry on luggage because i always have to have my valuable things on me - computer, cameras, film etc.  i hate being in the airport and lugging everything around.  i just want to get there and unpack.
