There are only a few gadgets you need when traveling.

1. Laptop computer (nothing too fancy, but you do want a DVD drive).
- w/ auto/plane power adapter.
- Mapping software and waypoint managment software (this is so you can plot everywhere you have been).

2. Hand held GPS.
- w/ computer connector cable (so you can download your routes and waypoint. You can also use it as a nav system.).

3. Pocket sized digital camera.
- w/ small tripod.
- A means to download the pictures to the laptop.

4. Cell phone with unlimited Internet access (Ie. Sprint Vision)
- w/ computer connector cable.
- Car charger.

5. backpack style case that will hole all of this and also an external pouch for a bottle of water.

Oh for god's sake!

1) Buy Portable DVD Player (any model, JUST MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD)

2) Buy Movie Prefontaine and Without Limits

3) Watch each 2-3 times during plane trip.

4) Plane has to land somewhere else due to bad weather

5) Plug in to recharge batteries

6) Watch movies.

7) Repeat step 6.

8) Repeat some more

9) Watch in Taxi.

10) Go to sleep with soundtrack being played through your iPod.

There you go! Only things you really need....

lets say i had a flight that lasted 20 hours- this is all i would need

portable dvd player with lots of battery life
a copy of dumb and dumber, and a copy of half-baked
and, most importantly, 5 pounds of Mike and Ikes

Noise cancelling headphones, essential when watching movies or listening to music.

I was so bored last time i had a plane trip to the mainland, that I did a bunch of crap on the plane. first I taped a "jeff goldblum is watching you poop" sign into the first class lavatory, and then I used sticky notes and said that the "coconut fresh" soap was really camel semen, signed the staff of hawaiian airlines, and then I pretended to have the ebola virus and breather really heavy and coughed on the people in front of me, and spilled some water on the shin of my pantlegs and said that ebola was melting me (I had some classic expressions from the person next to me . then I pretended to be airsick through the whole flight, and I went to the second class lavatory, dumped my teriaki chicken, and rice into the barf bag, and went back to my seat. about 15 minutes later I started to convulge from the smell of the airplane food, and almost really did throw up, but I brought the barf bag up and blew air into it and then I picked it up, and said, man, I love these thins, as some of the teriaki sauce seeped through. I then preceded to eat my plane food out of the barf bag, sending the guy next to me to the lavatory. Because I had a window seat, I then got up and down alot, making th guy get up and down so I could get bye, and then I completely opened up my carry on and spread it contents under the seats, which took about a half an hour to get all the stuff back, making it very uncomfortable for th people around me, because I was under there feet getting stuff, and then I evacuated a bunch of rows so I could find my "ipod" that I never had. then I told the guy infront of me I would sue him for sexual harassment unless he put his seat up (it was never down ). I then got out my walkman, with those new earphones tht you can hear am ile away, and turned up 50 cent to the max volume, making the guy next to me flip his lid, so he moved to an adjacent seat. I then started ringing the bell thing that calls the flight attendants like a thousand times untill FINALLY one came and then I asked if we were there yet. then I did it a thousand more times and asked the same thing, and then I did it again except this time I asked for a glass of water, which I spilled on the flight attedats shirt because of "turbulence". You see, this is why i need games and stuff, I have a dvd player in my laptop.
