Huh, that snuck up on me. I'm leaving for a week of rebuilding New Orleans tomorrow. I really don't know what to expect of this experience, except that I think it will be a Good Thing. I will try to do some phone posts (not having actual internet on my cell), but they will probably be sporadic. It's not like I post that much when I'm sitting in front of a computer all day, after all.

I have decided to try to do NaNoWriMo 11/15-12/15, we'll see how that goes.

So far my packing list (not counting things I always have on me) is

Clothes
First-aid kit
Maps
Toiletries

It seems like I ought to be taking more than that...

Well, I would bring knitting, of course, but I imagine that's less likely to be on your list.

More socks. And a hat or visor that will shade your face.

Maybe some kind of hard case/container than can be affixed to your car with a cablelock, for any small but more valuble items? Or, better yet, don't bring anything you can't afford to lose, as noted above.

Don't know what the power situation is, but they make emergency cellphone chargers (and radios) that work with a hand crank. Might come in handy if you're not in a position to leave your cellphone plugged in for a few minutes to charge.

Earplugs.
