Travel entertainment
Oct. 31st, 2008 01:34 pmUsually, my biggest dilemma in preparing for a trip is deciding what to read on the flight. I try to choose books that I want to read but that I don't necessarily have to schlepp back with me (either to keep or to lend to someone here who also is a fan of the series/author/genre/etc.)
This time I plan to be diligent and to purposefully NOT bring a book, so I can work on a very delayed project during the uninterrupted block of time the flight enforces. I have an extra battery for my laptop, which should give me a good 6 hours of working time.
While I'd rather escape into the pages of someone else's words, it will be a relief to finally get this taken care, so it's definitely the right decision.
I normally bring not just the books to read on the flight but a backup, since there are often flight delays and other unforeseen occurrences that come up these days while in transit.
But I will not bring ANY books to avoid temptation. (I will likely bring a leftover sudoku magazine I bought during the summer when my flight home from Ljubljana got in late to Frankfurt and I missed my connection to Madrid.)
