Final hours

New York City, 6/7/11

It's an incredibly busy few hours before the trip. My throat is still achy and dry with inflamed tonsils like spiked cotton balls. A healthy cocktail of Amoxicillin and Mucinex should do the trick. Due to all the goodbyes, I'm packing way too late and probably way too much. Plus those cheap happy hour beers beers from Chez Brother Jimmy's are not exactly making for focused packing.

My rough list is as follows, covering two months from June 8th - August 10th, 2011:
5 t-shirts
5 button-down shirts
1 polo shirt
9 pairs underwear
7 socks
1 pair cargo pants
1 pair cotton & linen pants
1 pair jeans
2 pairs shorts
2 bathing suits
1 long-sleeved shirt
1 sweater
1 Patagonia quarter-zip fleece pullover
1 North Face rain coat
1 disposable poncho
1 pair flip flops
1 pair sneakers
1 pair Converse All-Stars

1 Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP camera
3X 8GB SD memory cards
1 30GB iPod Classic, barely working
1 new headlamp
1 compressable EMS daypack that bunches into something the size of a baked potato
Travel towel, high-absorbency
