## In-flight Entertainment

Going to Thailand is no excuse to forget Japanese, so I'm taking along two books. 
- 星の王子さま (The Little Prince) - I've read this so many, many times.
- 不思議の国のアリス (Alice in Wonderland) - Just started
- 電子辞書 - An electronic dictionary to help me if I get lost in Wonderland
- 携帯 - My cellphone! To keep up with my Anki studies.
- Earphones to listen to the cellphone

## The Rest

- Passport. I hear that's important
- Camelback bladder
- Toiletries
- [Canon Camera](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MTMFHU/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=thenovanet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005MTMFHU&ref=blog.novaugust.net)

## Things I gotta get there

- A hat
- Sunscreen
Yes, all of that fits inside of my backpack. I'm actually taking off the top-pouch and using it as carryon, it has the inflight stuff. Everything else is stuffed into the main pocket of my lovely orange bag. Conspicuously missing from all this - my baby laptop!
